Thanks for another great Wednesday challenge, Roxie. Always a hit!
This is not only a monochromatic distaster, but a disasterous photo as well. There are no interesting details to be had so let me just say this was a challenge for me in several ways.
Happy stamping!

SILLY GIRL, I love it!! It's soft and beautiful and the cake looks good enough to eat!! I think sometimes we labor so long over stuff we need to step back and see the beauty, and if I'm not mistaken you said that once to me about one of my "challenge" cards......take your own advice, sleep on it, look at it again and you will see the beauty the rest of us see!!

Wow!! I didn't realize I had such bad taste in cards!! I actually thought this was beautiful...from the cake, to the colors, to the flower with ribbons. But you said it was a disaster. Since I respect you so much, I better check myself. I still think this is gorgeous, but I'll try harder to be a better judge of beauty.....*giggle*

This is very sedate and subtle...unusual for you, Anne! However...I do love the mono look! the corner with the flower and ribbons and ..stamens?.. is wonderful. I love the stitching too!
