Thanks for another great Wednesday challenge, Roxie. Always a hit!
This is not only a monochromatic distaster, but a disasterous photo as well. There are no interesting details to be had so let me just say this was a challenge for me in several ways.
Happy stamping!

Anne, Anne, Anne, my friend, you are much too hard on yourself for this is a lovely, lovely card. Your eye is so good for detail and embellishment and looking at a sketch and making it your own. There are so many great elements to this card, color, texture, design. Very nice.

Let's trade glasses, lol! Mine think your card is wonderful but don't like my own photo. I love all the stitching and the dots on the cake. The little flower corsage is perfect.

I don't think this is a disaster. I love it. YOu and I were on the save wave lengths yesterday with blues and browns. I love the beads on the cake, dots, stitching, and the beautiful floral arrangement

HAHAHA....I just saw the title in your gallery before opening this and was literally CRACKING UP at my computer!!!! I couldn't wait to see the dis...but WAIT, I think this is AWESOME, and I am not even kidding!!!! I love the rusty corally colors, and your ribbon thingie is just FAB!!! And I LOVE how the thingie matches the flowers on your cake! Thanks for the letdown...I was really HOPING this was a disaster, but alas...Anne Ryan and her awesome embellishments strike again!!
When it comes to humor, Anne, you take the cake. Oh, no pun intended, LOL, your cake looks gorgeous! And so does this beautifully stitched and accessorized card!!!! And the photo is very moody and effective, too! I love it!

Anne, this card is fantastic. You are outnumbered on this one, girl. I love the stitching and it is just perfect. I have a hard time sewing on cards, usually the machine messes up or I do. I love the pearls and the liquid applique.
