What an amazing gallery to pick from!! I lost something in the translation - the thing I loved most about her card was the crisp red and white color scheme....and the layout reminds me of a little girls pinafore....it's awesome.....Here is her absolutely gorgeous card:
However, I always lean toward ivory instead of white, riding hood red instead of real red, etc. So I started out and picked those colors just because I am drawn to them and when I finished, it didn't have that crisp red and white feel of the card I cased....but I like it anyway, it's just different. I guess we are SUPPOSED to change things, so I changed the red, and the white to ivory, and the image is different and I added the corner treatment, and I had to change the bow to brown cuz when I got all done, the red and white polka dots clashed with my card......boohoo....anyway, I do like my card, it's just different. Hope you like it too!!!

Karen, Your coloring is to die for. I like how the card we chose from Aarodd's gallery is a perfect design for many styles. You rocked this challenge with yours.

Very pretty image Karen. Yes, we are suppose to change stuff and if your style shows up, the better I think. Just fun to be inspired by her cards today! I know she will love it too. Cool watercolouring and border. Love your ribbon, oh you are soooo good! TFS
