This is for the sketch challenge today. I am not very happy with this - just doesn't feel right. In any event I changed the sketch in the end, as this was the only way I liked it with the papers, and as they were cut, I was determined to use them - that is probably where I went wrong! It is hard to see but the green colour is also in the paper. I added light green pearls to my branches instead of leaves. Added a butterfly and a twine bow along with a few sequins. Thanks for looking ...

Don't be to hard on yourself - I agree - it is a beautiful card with a lovely combination of delicate papers and die cuts. Love the sparkle from the sequins.
I don't know why you aren't happy with this -- It's terrific! I love the colors and the punch, and branch with pearls .... I just love it all! Great card!

Kia, I think this really really pretty. It grabbed my attention right away. I love the colors and I love your white branch with the pearls for leaves. Isn't it funny how sometimes the cards we think are not so hot, other people just love?? And I love this one!!

Really pretty! I think it has a wonderful look - that die cut and the papers and the sequins all work perfectly together!!! Hugz

I always hate to disagree with nice people, Kia, but this is lovely. The colors are so soft and gentle, and the single branch is such a nice design. The sequins, pearls, bow and butterfly look so great.
