Another Lesson in Creativity NOT!

I feel pretty stupid right now.....I went to make the decals for the jars and boy did I run into a road block! I have clear decal paper and white decal paper, and so I thought, OK...this should be on clear. Well, guess what? The decal comes out totally transparent....because there is no "white" on the back round like the original from Meyercord. They must have actually done a two step process. So I thought OK....the white will work, nope! All of the back round including where you cut around the decal is white! DRAT!!!!!! How in the heck am I going to do this? Well, my bestest friend Cheri came over and we worked on Word, I don't know Photoshop yet....and we came up with this:








Now, where you see white in the box it is white, not clear....so it changed how the decal looks.....I am so bummed! I wanted to make these for lots of things! But either you put them on a colored surface or you paint the surface a color, clear glass will not work with reproductions!

Linda, do not fear, I have an original for you......but my idea of selling these on Etsy is going to have to wait until I can figure out a way to make the decal opaque, but the back round clear.....if that is even possible. I feel pretty defeated right now. This is the best we could come up with for right now.....and it takes up the whole front square of glass on the jar......still cute but not as cute as the original! I looked at reproduction decal people on Ebay and they always show the decals on an opaque service, never clear glass..... So maybe I put this sweet little girl on something else..... Oh well another lesson in how things aren't always what they seem :)
