WOW OH WOW OH WOW!!! DID I EVER struggle with these colors!! When I say this card was Take 5, I kid NOT!!! I circular filed several attempts...and finally decided I was really gonna have to choose either the purple or the melon mambo and then downplay the other color because when I put the colors together strong, I just could NOT come up with ANYTHING I liked enough to post!! Vicki - you REALLLY challenged me this time!!! WOWEE ZOWEE......I was exHAUSTED!!! So here is what I finally came up with and I do like it alot, but I'm not sure if I loved the card, or I loved the fact that I finally MADE ONE!!!!! Happy Tuesday everyone!

Karen, even when you have a hard time and feel challenged, you end up with a BEAUTIFUL result - purple is a color I hardly EVER use, I can never get it to photograph true, this week was definitely a challengin' one! These flowers are fabulous done with your layered marker technique and the tiny touch of hot pink is perfect!

Karen, this was a case of "If you dont succeed the first time, try, try again" tee hee... anyway, you came up with a gorgeous card...I love the use of the gel pen on the pretty flowers, the rhinestones, the faux stitching and the beautiful brad on the bow..... well done mf....
