This card is for the Technique Lover's Challenge #97, 'What Was I Thinking?' to use a set that once we got it have wondered ever since why we got it. Beautiful Batik is that set for me. We were also challenged to incorporate our least favorite accessory. Well I love ribbon but NOT this ribbon. It has been sitting on my shelf unused since I brought it home... but it was only a dollar for the whole spool... I couldn't pass it up. (You all know how that goes.) Putting staples on the card was also part of the challenge. Again, this stapler and decorative staples seemed so cool when I bought them but once home I really didn't like them. But after putting three of my least favorite elements together on one card... I LOVE THEM ALL!! lol Weird how that works. Maybe it was the use of some of most favorite elements like the Print background and a big pink prima.

This is one fabulous, happy card! I love how all the disliked elements came together to make you wonder why you ever disliked them in the first place! That didn't actually happen for me, but I'm glad it did for you.

Wow, thats a beautiful card. Maybe you will use them all again now. I have the ribbon also, I like it, but haven't figured out how to use it on anything yet. After seeing this-I will have to use it on something.
