Okay, can I just say that to say I struggled with this challenge is the understatement of the entire year of 2010, and 2009, and 2008, and 2007, and so on. HOLY CANOLLI I am FREAKIN EXHAUSTED!!! I have been working on this ONE CARD since the challenge came up EARLY......and it has evolved, from ugly, to uglier, to BUTT UGLY, and now, finally, to I am happy with it almost, either that or I am just so tired I don't CARE ANYMORE. For laughs, I am going to link this to one of the monsters I created before this one. YOu will all know that I am not exaggerating it was the ugliest card i have ever MADE!!!! HERE is the picture I took, hoping it would be one of those cards that looked better in the pic then it did in real life, but alas, I could not decide which way it looked uglier. Here is the one I am speaking of. Sorry guys, I TRIED to link it but remember, I am also computer and technology challenged,,,,,so I cannot show you my monster card you will just have to take my word for it. ;)
Thank Goodness I did not give up because that would have been one UGLY addition to my gallery. Here is why I was so BENT ON MAKING A CARD TONITE. Vicki, Mary, and Joanne, as well as Betty are DEAR SCS friends, and I SO wanted to play in the color challenge for which they are designers.... but fell asleep early last night...so decided and contemplated all day long combining these challenges. I have come to the conclusion that though I love blushing bride and I love baja breeze, for me, I am nevah, evah, evah, evah try to combine them again. I cannot make something pretty with them. Although in the past I think I have, - it's just tonite - nothing worked for me. Look at that linked card(NOT!! I AM SO LAME) and tell me it's not ugly. LOL......it is SO UGLY. Bwahahahaha.....anyway- this one is not so shabby. Hope you like it, and Mary, Vicky, Joanne and Betty, I love you guys!! This one's dedicated to you guys!! I worked hard to play in the challenge that you four ROCKED!!!! The end of my long and sad story. Bwahhahahahahaaa..

Ha - I had a mental image of a single bloom just like that, only I didn't get that far looking through my stamps. So I like this. Off now to see where Kitty managed to find the other card - I'm sure it's not as bad as you think. My personal rule is that when I've made a challenge card I'll upload it even if I think it's a stinker - I like to think we all have off days now and again. You have me curious, I'll have to take a quick peek at the colour challenge gallery too .
I think it is gorgeous! Love the ribbon treatment and the black bling on the lace! The EB folders you used really complemented each other. I think it is an outstanding card!
