Now...I have to admit...I have 5 cards that I made for this challenge...And...This is the ONLY one that survived! The First one got a Diet Coke spilled on it...The Second, got a BLACK thumbprint in the center. right on top of the sentiment... The Third was crooked! The Fourth looked Like I had been drinking ALL NIGHT and decided to make a card....This is the Fifth one. It was okay, free of fang marks, Diet Coke spillum and didn't look like I was hung over when I made it. So, I decided to upload it...Speedy the Cat got fed up with me at card #3 and LEFT! He's now watching "CARS" with the other 5 cats in the living room! LOL!
The Focal image and background were stamped with Noir Black Palette Hybrid Ink and Heat Set. (I have found that Copic markers cause this product to BLEED if NOT heat set.) Next, I colored the FOCAL image with Copics. I used DARKER, BRIGHTER Blue Greens for this. The Background vine was colored with lighter softer Blue Greens.
The white corner treatments were embossed with the vine Cuttlebug folder. The Black flourishes are a Cuttlebug Die.

I'm so sorry to hear of your struggles ... BUT I'm glad I'm not the only one that goes through frustrated or wasted time either ... and you're a pro ... TFS your trials and, of course, your cards. They're always gorgeous!

Hi Faith! This is very pretty and love the colors on this! Hey, you got 5 cards done in the time that it takes me to do less than one! And you still cranked out a beaut!
