This is my second attempt to make a card for the ColourQ Challenge to use Red, Pumpkin Pie, Kiwi Kiss, Bordering Blue and White. I added Black as a neutral color to make the others pop! Have you ever made a card that you absolutely did not like in any way, shape or form??? That was my first attempt; I tried a couple of different ways to "fix" it but ended up tossing the whole thing in the trash! Decided to persevere and try again and I'm so glad that I did 'cause I'm liking this one! It qualifies for the Cuttlebug Challenge to use inchies and a cuttlebug folder -- the one I used is Stylized Flowers. Speedy the Cat's Friends has a challenge to use 3+ flowers -- can you spy the three flowers on my card? Squint real hard and look in the upper right corner of the inchies!! There's a black heat embossed flower on each one. There's also an embossed flower on the first layer of Bordering Blue (that's the +). I also sponged the edges of the white card base with bordering blue.
The moral of my story is "if at first you don't succeed......try, try again!"

Betty,
I just love your inchie cards. One of these days I will have to try these. I've thrown several tries in the trash. One time I was trying to copy Selma. After 5 hours I gave up.
Wow Betty this is gorgeous. I can't image one of your cards not being pretty but your second try is outstanding.
Excellent! Very classy card.
