WOW! This was much harder than I thought, you can see the gift card I used on my blog and read more details there... It was interesting to play and took much more thought to get inspired.

From the appearance of your card, I can't see any struggling...it's amazing that once things come together, others don't really realize how long it took us to hem and haw over details! This looks marvelous, those deep, rich colors are so regal looking and the distressing adds such shabby charm! Love the button and trinket, too! I, like you, try to follow things to the "T", but have found that sometimes it's just a swirl, or color, or gem that can spark creativity in us, and it's only that one aspect that inspired you! And....that's ok!
