LOVE this color combination.....love that pacific point which i remember knick naming blue tarp when I first saw it....but man, when you watercolor with it it packs a PUNCH!! Love it!! This was one of those cards where I got it almost exactly where i wanted it and decided to try one last crowning touch and then I blew it. I stamped a little fleur de leur kind of tiny thing at the top of the oval and ugh, arghhh....yukk....so not cool. So out came my handy paper snips and we went for some deeper dimension, if you get my drift. Thank God for scissors....and a new fresh oval, and then sometimes you actually end up liking it better then before you cut!! Fun card,,,,I skipped dessert, twine somehow just didn't seem to fit the finished product. That's about it for tonite!! I feel so foot loose and fancy free this week cuz all I had to do was stamp a card, and upload it, and I didn't have to be the hostess!! YAY!! But my turn is coming again.....I can feel the tummy starting to churn just thinking about it and yes, my lips are getting numb. Happy Tuesday everyone!!!~

Just breathtaking Karen! You know that things happen for a reason right? So it was only right that your little faux pas turned into a wonderful creation! Just love your card!
If you do the hostessing thing enough times, your stomach doesn't churn quite so much, lol!
