There are times when I work on a card and it is just a train wreck waiting to happen, and that was certainly the case with this card. I threw this in the trash more than once, then dug it out, and set it aside, only to throw it in the trash again. It looked so "old lady" to me and I could not seem to stop that from happening. Finally, when I cut the suede bow out and added the pearls, then I was happy with the card, and I was able to make a few more even. Whew!
