In two minds pt1...

This weeks Just Add Ink colour challenge was a bit harder than I thought.  When I first saw it I thought of Shelli's blouse she wore for the opening General Session at the Brisbane Convention, but I couldn't find the right flower stamps to pull it off so I was in two minds what to do next.

 

I had a bit of a stressful week last week and was feeling a little sorry for myself so I made myself this card to remind myself that 
"everything will be OK even if we can't see what OK is yet"...


Nothing like a bit of flourish to cheer you up!

  3. What a lovely idea to make a card for yourself Marlene. I love the pop of your banners against the more subtle and detailed stamping of the background. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink.
