WELL can I just say I absolutely positively HATE this card??? bahahaha. You win some, you lose some, and I HATE this puppy. I have had the kind of week it's a miracle I got anything made at all....but I do seriously hate it but had no time to go for plan b. There is a pretty quilt card in my head to replace this one that would be in the circular file if I had more time, but it never made it to paper. You win some, you lose some, but it's been a long time since I made a card that I hate as much as this one. haha. I may delete it in the end, but I did make the effort - A for effort, right? Happy Tuesday everyone!

You've been way too hard on yourself- but you posted and that says a lot about you as a crafter that always joins in. I'm away so only able to view today. The colours were a wee bit tough so I think I'd be 'doing a Karen' if I was home. Your flowers are lovely... so thanks a bunch for sharing.

I agree with the others, your card is beautiful. It does have a country/rustic feel and many pretty details such as the doily, flowers, woodgrain background and the design paper. There is a lot to love about this card!

Ha! I think we all know the feeling and isn't it a terrible feeling when you just hate your card. And I know from experience that nothing we can say will change your mind. That being said, I think it's an antique beauty and I especially love the lace and yarn combo you've got going one there.

I totally understand how you feel, but in this case you're definitely being too hard on yourself. The card is quite beautiful and I love all the extra touches like the doily in the background and that pretty bow and the heat embossed flowers. You may not like it, but plenty of people (including me) would love to find this in our mailbox!

You are so funny. I love what you wrote. It is freeing to hear that we all go through this. Love your shiny embossed flower heads. This really has a rustic country feel as others have said. Oh, and I just realized what you named your card! You are a character, lol. I agree with the others, someone would love to receive this!
