this is for the inspiration challenge, a double shamrock quilt.
I think this has to be the most homely card I have ever made.. but I put a lot of time comeing up with it, decided to put it in anyway..
sometimes what is in your head doesn't get into the creativity of your hands... I just have to laugh.
I aged everything with adirondack mushroom in hopes of softening up the look a bit..
thanks for looking!

JaydeKay! ( sorry I don't know your real name! ) What!!! This is by no means a homely card!!! I was just looking at it and thinking - what a beautiful card - paper weaving, a little distressing - a cool looking distressed flower - with a pearl - a bit of an creative collage look to it!! I think it is beautiful and very creative and lovely!!!!!
I think sometimes we just stare at our own creations too long. Mine always drive me batty as I work on them, and if you look in my gallery - then - seriously - you will see some truly HOMELY cards!!!!

Absolutely beautifully done. I love the woven pattern that looks like quilt squares, the design of the flower is terrific, who would have thought to make square leaves "genius". Great job on the challenge. Bravo.......
