I am still adding some of my “old” cards to my “new” blog, So if you have seen this card before sorry I will have a new card tomorrow. I just thought I was share a bit of background on this card, which can you believe I almost put in the recycling bin before I added the flowers and pearls, I thought it was too dark and lacked detail, So I was about to throw it in the bin and then I thought to myself, I always say to people in my classes or workshops “there are no mistakes just creative opportunities” ….WHAT was I doing giving up so easy, After about 40 minutes just sitting looking at the card, I decided to stamp the flowers on Very Vanilla, Cut them out and put pearls in the centre, Once I did that the card really came together and now I am so happy I did not throw it out.
