This is for a weekly challenge that a small group of us do each Monday. We were each sent a different paintchip and some chipboard shapes, and both were to be used on the card. The paintchip had to stay in it's color order.
Now, I'm severly paintchip challenged, and we had no extras to work with. Did you know that distress ink does not dry on paintchip? Well, I do now. Did you know that the black looks gray when you stamp it on a paintchip? Well, I do now.
So, there was no room for error, and every card I make goes through different stages of layout, etc. So, now that you understand my handicap please, don't hold this card against me. I tried. I really tried. It took me forever just to stamp on it. I was soooooooooo nervous.
So Sorry Dawn to disappoint you....or maybe make you happy instead......cause you soooooo stumped me on this one. It was beyond me.

That looks great Tosha!! Did you only have one paint chip to work with - because that would be awful!! I am like you - my cards are never done in 22 minutes or something as I see others say. Like you, I try different layouts, agonize over colours .. etc.. but this is great!! Really lovely!! The butterfly and ribbon make a fab card!

Tosh, this is so beautiful, so elegant, so lovely. How could you think this was a tanker? Huh? I don't think you know how to make a bad card, my friend.
