from the moment I set foot in my craft room one mishap after the next ensued right down to my camera insisting that this card is very vibrant (NOT!)! However I made lemons out of lemonade and admonish myself for having lovely tools of the papercrafting world (camera, spellbinders dies, copics, et al)and not always taking the time to learn to use them to their full potential. Can anyone relate? That being said I will stop beating myself up and tell you that this card was lots of fun to make and I do like my coloring on the pots of flowers. have some green here, after all it IS St. Patrick's Day, so pass over the dessert! This will go to my cousin who is recovering from hip surgery (HI Marjorie if you are reading this!!!) and will be sure to brighten her day. Hugs, NR

The gray background dragged the whole card down learning from my mistakes. I still think its pretty but the grey shpuld only be a layer not the whole base.

Yes, I get cranky about my camera making things look "not how they are in real life" but have no patience for learning all of the settings, and yes, I love the way your pots of flowers turned out, too!

Nothing unfortunate here! This card is so pretty! I love the two watering cans full of flowers and the pretty green bow. Good luck to your friend. My hip replacement was almost ten years ago, and still going strong!
