I finally made it to the Tea Parttt-tttyyy!!! Happy New Year, my friends!!!!
I was very pleased with this card UNTIL I used the Pearl Pen!!! UGH! One splat and it was disaster!!! I think I'm going to cut that side off....just make the card a little skinnier. What do you think?

I love the pretty blue and the hearts over the lacy borders!! As for the splat, , it's not that noticeable, but if it were me, I'd cut that part off and add a piece of the lacy border on the inside, thus making it look as it were planned and making the design follow through to the inside.
Don't you just hate when you do that and it's almost done!

Bleah, it's so frustrating when something like that happens. I don't know what to say, I think the pearls look really pretty and balance your hearts very well, but the smudged one would bug me so that I'd want to do something to fix it. Because I like the look of the pearls I think I'd maybe punch 3 small flowers and put pearls in the centres of them.
Hope you got the birthday card I sent!

Yup. Lesley, cut it off. The card is prettier without it!

Oh Lesley, your splats aren't that bad but a skinny card might look nice too. Love the eb hearts and your other hearts are beautiful. Nice to see you at the teapot party! You have been missed! TFS :0)

Oh Lesley I think it's beautiful. It doesn't look messed up in any way to me. I love heart and blue so it's a perfect match. Lovely lovely card Sistah.
