How sweet!!
The challenge over at The Pink Elephant this week is All That Glitters.
Well, I don't need to be told twice to get the bling out - you may have noticed lol xxx
So this is what I did.
The gorgeous kitty cat image is from the wonderful Wild Rose and the papers are PP, except the greeny blue spotty paper I used for the blooms, which is a paper from Summer's new download. The pink bit in the centre of the blooms are from the fabidoodles Poppicrafts and the teeny silver card candy in the centre is from Craftwork Cards
You can see them better here darlins xxx
Now I have to say that I am not totally enamoured with this because I think I used one too many colours on the image. I don't like to use more than 3 or 4 base colours on my cards and this has more than that. But I got a new PM - turquoise - and I was dying to use it, and I got Summers new download today, which I was also dying to use, and I thought they went well together, which they do.
But there is still summat not right.
However you know me - I'll put it on here regardless, cos we can't get it right every time. And I can look back in months to come and see what a plonker I've been. I was having a similar conversation with Terrie B today about this. We all do it don't we - that is we make a card and we think it's nice, then tomorrow we look again and think it's awful Or is that just me!!!!! Oh please say it isn't lol xxxx
I look back at some of the first things I did and to be honest, I am mortified on several counts. Mortifed cos they are basically a load of crappo, and mortifed cos I actually liked them at the time lol xxxx. And not just when I started out either, cos there is one card I have put on here which I look back on and I actually cringe - to the point where I actually laughed in a derisory manner at my own card!!!! I think I had someone elses eyes in that day. Either that or I'd been crafting after too much vino and still had me beer goggles on lol xxxx Of course, I'm not gonna tell you which one it - cos I'm far too ashamed :((
Well I have the pjs on, the heavy duty wrinkle filler awaits, along with the trowel to slap it liberally on with. I just have to make my hot choc (Options as per the diet, so no Ovaltine at the mo - sob sob cos I love it). Then I'm going to finish the last few pages of my book. I realise that you are all probably jealous of my rock and roll lifestyle, so I am sorry for rubbing it in!!!

Not sure if you can see here but there are teeny tiny lil blingy stones in the centre. And it has all been dusted with my fave Glamour Dust :)) xx

Very pretty card and such a cute image, your flowers ar brill :) Donna
ReplyDeleteLove that spotty ribbon and the layout is perfect.
ReplyDeleteA lovely card - not one to be cringed at.
Know how you feel about past postings though - I put one card on that kept haunting me - I really didn't like it. Guess what I found the edit posts facility and sent it to the dustin. Only done that once though but boy did I feel better afterwards.
Thanks so much for joining the challenge at the Pink Elephant - hope you'll be back next week.
