I made so many owies on this card I can't believe I ever got it uploaded. At one point I had Cranberry ink EVERYWHERE including both eyebrows and an ear.
After a number of redos....here my card.
TFL!
OK....there was one last redo.....this stupid card, after all the trouble it caused me, was sitting on my craft table taunting me......it looked SO unfinished. So...I added the sentiment.

Classy Jo, THIS is classy and just gorgeous, love the colour combination! Sounds like you had a "fun" time creating this card - thanks for the smile, too, on reading of your ink mishaps!

You might have had trials and tribulations....and cranberry ear and eyebrow....but the result is gorgeous, Jo. The cranberry is such a rich color with the white and I like how you stressed the horizontal.

U R 2 funny!! I just had to laugh about your "owies" on this card!! Your end result is so pretty so I'm glad you kept at it!! Your cranberry color paper & ribbon is so rich looking and your flower is such a pretty addition. Great work considering all your anguish...:-)

Me too. This sketch intimidated me, and then I ended up not liking the first card I made, so had to make another. I think your card is lovely. The color is beautiful, as are the flower and bow. It's very elegant too. I guess some of us had "one of those days."

You poor thing.... Glad you stuck with it and I hope you ended up with more ink on the card instead of your face. It turned out beautifully BTW. I think the sentiment was a great addition Jo.

Elegant and beautiful card. I love the colors and I am always looking for a way to dress up that flower stamp. I think you have showed me a beautiful way. I love it.

Lovely, that white flower is a fabulous contrast to the rich hues of the circle. I love the die cut sentiment that you added! Great job, now you can go clean up-or start a new make-up trend...
