In Flight


This card really came out pretty good but the photo looks kinda "washed out". I really need to work on my photography skills I think...........oh, well................

I'm not real sure what's going on but it seems like every time I make a card lately, I get it finished, it looks pretty good.......and THEN.....all I can do is criticize it and wish I had done this different, or that different, or whatever. I think maybe I just need to "back off" from it all for awhile - and then, at the same time, I just want to spend all day in the little craft room!

This is for Mercy's Sketch Challenge 56. I embossed the white background with the Birds and Swirls embossing folder. The butterfly is from CTMH and it was heat embossed using Outdoor Denim embossing powder - also from CTMH. I used Night of Navy, White and some unknown brand of patterned paper that I had. I added some pearls at the bottom, the ribbon across the card and the bow on the side.

Thanks for stopping by....................

Its a lovely card Lynn. I think we are our hardest critics...I don't think it needs anything else.

Lynn, this card is beautiful! I too have to remind myself that it is OK to play and that not every card will turn out perfect! Beautiful is perfect too!

I know what you mean about criticizing though...ive been second guessing myself a lot these days. there must be something in the air!
