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.

It happens because you obviously have a good eye for design and can make positive things happen! This really is a great card. You combined all those "awful" things into a real piece of art! Awesome!!!

What a funny little story -- but you are right -- they all go together and look wonderful on this card -- maybe I should take out some of the stuff I don't like - LOL!!! Great job!!!
