A mistake led to the making of this card. My mother always does what I do..she copies me down to the last infinitesimal measurement. Consequently, it takes half an hour to make a 5 minute card. Today I have no patience. I picked up a stamp she had put down on top of the ink upside down, and got ink on my fingers, so that when I touched my card it got in the wrong place.
The result was fussy cutting and layering with dimensionals, and I really like it.
Before you yell at me for being a little iffy with Mom, remember she has been with us for four years, 24/7, and sometimes, just sometimes, I get testy. We are never alone. I could use a break, but I can't deal with the silences and grudge-holding I get in return!! thanks for being there, you all!!!

Your fussy cutting is awesome then because I thought it was a die cut. Love your card. I understand about the Mom - my prayers go with you for patience. It's harder than people know.

I really feel your anxiety and frustration Anne! I understand that 'boxed-in' feeling..I had it when Mr Noofy first retired ..twice as much man..half as much money! LOL Your little mistake really turned into a fabulous creation and I love the colours you used for your flowers. Keep your cool..take a deep breath...count to 10!

Mistakes sometimes generate the best cards! This is a beautiful card and I love how you popped the stamped portion. It will go into my favs. Also, I am praying that you get that break you need.
