Love these colors, so bright and pretty together. My card was going so well. I had just finished gluing it altogether and was adding the final touches. Don't know what possessed me to add the little black dots, but I did using acrylic black paint. I put them on the top and bottom corner. I had thought in my head as I was doing the dots, "wouldn't that be horrible if I got paint everywhere!!!!" Well, that is exactly what I did.
You will notice that there is a ribbon bow thingy on the top corner, not planned, a dew drop on one of the panels and a black splotch on the bottom edge that I couldn't figure out how to cover up. So forget I told you it is there and concentrate on the beauty of the flower panels! LOL
Quickly, I just stamped my image with versa mark and eb with gold fine detail ep. Colored with re-inkers. Put on a panel that I stippled all three colors and ran a gold leaf pen around the edges. Amazing I didn't get the gold leaf pen everywhere!!!. Then I layered this on top of a white card sponged tangerine tango and doodled edges. Added the MS punched leaves.
Well, there you have it oops and all. Note to self, don't think of the "what ifs" until you are done with your card! LOL........Hope you can see past the boo boo's!.........TFL :0)

If you were a machine then you could be perfect, but it is made by hand which is special and besides it is still a beautiful card. The colors are luscious. ----- Any booboo's on the envelope I blame on the Post Office, but inside I don't know what to do. Maybe a child or a pet??

You did a beautiful job with those colors!!!! The colors blend so well and you did a great job coloring. You shouldn't have mentioned an oops. I sure didn't notice anything wrong, I just love your flowers and leaves.
