This was fun but I could not take a good picture of it. I guess because it is on dark paper. The flash made it blurry. With out you just see a blob. It does look good in person. TFL. Tried again. It's overcast here, got a good light and took another, now you can't see the chalk real well!!!

I know how frustrating it is when you just cannot get a good photo~ what works the best for me is to go outside on the sunny side of the house and not use the flash. Don't know if that will help. When inside I have had some result by building a box lined with white paper and using a lamp instead of the flash... I have a small lamp I can hold in my other hand and try to direct the light as needed.
I can't see the image much but I can tell by the layout and other adornmants that this is a beautiful card! TFS

Sometimes getting a good photo is the hardest part of the card-making process! I know I had the same issue this morning! This is very pretty! I wouldn't have thought of trying this technique on darker paper. Thanks for the idea!

It is VERY hard to get a good pic of this technique! I can see it though, and it is beautiful! I love the way you pierced two corners and placed them opposite on the next layer....beautiful ribbons and gorgeous pearls!

Sometimes taking the photograph is the hardest part about making these cards!!! You did a great job on this lovely card and I think those pearls make it really look elegant!

I love how your hummingbird. Photos hardly ever do the cards justice do they? I like how you pierced around the edges and added the pearl and ribbon embellishments. Very pretty card.
