One of those Days!!

Have you ever had one of those days where nothing goes right? Well I've had one today - thought I'd get cracking on my Christmas cards after I had cleared up my orders but oh no that wasn't gonna happen today! It has taken me all afternoon to make this card and I'm still not a hundred percent sure about it. I had it all stuck on but it wasn't quite straight - only a mm or 2 out but to me it stuck out like a sore thumb- I don't know why I carried on with it cause I knew in the back of my mind I wouldn't be happy with it and would start again and of course after wasting so much time on it I binned it and did start again. Anyway this is the result - a 30th birthday card - not needed till the end of the month so I still might change my mind lol - I think the flowers might be too overpowering .
The papers are Doodlebug - image from Pink Petticoat coloured with promarkers and over watercoloured over with sakura stardust - sentiment made on the computer.

    Love the card, why are we all so critical about our own work, I too have destroyed many a card because I have not been happy with it even though people tell me how nice it is. So here goes I love your card and the flowers. I am sure whoever receives this card will love it. Alison xx
