Man it's one thing to stay up really late and be HAPPY with your card, but this one - NOT SO MUCH. ugh. I am sketch challenged. Anyway after all this effort I am posting it anyway. But I hate almost every element of this card. ESPECIALLY THE PIXIE PINK. THERE'S A REASON THIS COLOR IS BEING DISCONTINUED. I HATE IT. Well - hate is a strong word. Nothing sings to me. I'm going to bed. Tomorrow is another day. Ya can't like everything you make.

If I could use just one word (sigh, I NEVER can!!) it would be STUNNING EFFECT (rats!! That's two--I cannot stop at just one!). I think we all know what you mean about not liking everything we make, "but that ol' black magic has me in it's spell"...and that's about all I know of that song, but it's enough to get the picture!!

Stunning card. If you can't find Nancy Ruth's address, mail it to me! The pixie pink makes it pop even more, love your signature black magic technique and that adorable ribbon treatment.

Hee hee, here I was thinking "what - another stunning Black Magic card by Karen" and then I read your hilarious comments! I know, I know, that hideous Pixie Pink, but you've managed to make it look good with that pretty Basic Grey paper, and the emb. folder helped it, too. I think your card is beautiful : )

Karen, your card is beautiful! The colors are awesome and your black magic rocks! That bow was the perfect touch, too!

Seriously, it was the vibrant PINK PIXIE that made me click on the card for a close up. I love the pop of color against the DP. I love that you embossed the Pink Pixie and White border together. Nice texture. I really like how the Pink Pixie jumps out of the black on the black magic technique. Have I said PINK PIXIE enough??? LOVE IT..
