just go to bed. That is what I should have done tonight. Yep, should have just gone to bed. Still not feeling that good (stomach still hurts) and well, my card just didn't come together the way that I had hoped. WHAN!!
I really hate that. Booooooooooo!!!
So this is what I came up with using Julee's Verve Visual sketch and one of my new Whipper Snapper Images. Now, don't get me wrong I LOVE the colors I used... the layout...WONDERFUL...image...FABULOUS!! Me? Not such a good stamper! LOL
This is what I could have done better...used PIGMENT ink for the saying and not dye ink. I should have put DOWN the Sakura Glitter Pen. And... I should have stuck with either brads or eyelets but not BOTH. What the heck was I thinking? Oh, I know... how much my friggin' stomach hurts! UGH!
So here are the deets Peeps:
Stamps: Whipper Snapper Designs & a-muse
Cardstock: Papertrey White (have I mentioned how much I love this stuff???), Certainly Celery, Simmery White, So Saffron & Taken with Teal
Inks: Timberbrown Staz-On, Blush Blossom, So Saffron, Apricot Appeal, Certainly Celery, More Mustard & Taken with Teal
Misc: Eyelets, Breads, Sakura Glitter Pen & Stickles
Alright, I am off like a prom dress. You guys have a FANTASTIC Friday!! I will see you guys tomorrow. :)
I think your card looks great. I am sure that when you wake up and look at it again, you will be happier. That happened to me this morning. I was hating another challenge card I was making. It looked worse all the time.. but this morning it didn't look as bad as it looked last night :). I really like the colours that you picked! and that stamp is soooo cute!

Oh I'm sorry you're feeling bad still...
The card is great though! I love how you made the diamond different colours. And the glitter on the balloon is perfect!
I tagged you on my blog...check it out!
(Feel better soon...)

Karrie, you are way to critical of your work! I LOVE it! I love the colors you used and all the glittery touches!
Now I hope you get to feeling better!

Well then, if YOU don't care for it, and I think you're in the minority, lets see it using your other ideas.
Maybe you should't wear your prom dress so much. I think maybe its cutting back on your circulation and that's what causing your tummy ache. ;)

Sorry to hear that you are not feeling so well. I hope you get to feeling better soon!! There is nothing wrong with this card, what are you talking about? I think those colors look great together & the sparkle is in all the right places. I think it's adorable!!
