So I lay in bed that night, thinking about the options I've already explored, and the starting point. And decided to go back to that starting point. Cut out a die shape to create a coloured window to stick on top of the bigger, whole uncoloured image. And I did. It's OK, but for four hours? Two things come from it. I had a nice time. And keep it simple. Although I still think it's a little lacking. Maybe its the wrong image? Spare me.

Hi Julia, I love the darker card ones. Hope you can get it just how you want it.
Have a fab Friday. Sue
I love these - and, yes, that is 4 hours of your precious time and energy - BUT you created some gorgeous designs. Ali x
Oh my, I have quit counting the times I have done the same thing! *gin*
It did turn out beautifully Julia.
Hwy, as long as you were enjoying it, that's what really counts in the long run. It's the process, not the product, right? But I think ypur "product" looks super!
You have just validated my reason for NOT making cards. At least YOU have fun in the process. When I create something like this, I get too frustrated and want to throw it across the room. You obviously have the patience of Job.
Hi Julia, you simply can't rush perfection!
Really, they look great, especially the colouring on the black. It is a long time to spend on a card and I've done exactly the same thing and ended up with something I was only half way happy with! So, if you had fun it wasn't a waste of time.
Some time spent crafting can never be a waste and you have some pretty pieces as a result.
Have a super weekend.

I loved reading this. Love the dark cards!
Ultimately as long as you had fun, who cares if great things came out of your play session or not. You definitely learned some things. And you are not alone in long sessions that just don't come out like you thought. I like the shimmery paint on the dark cardstock. That's definitely a winner.
I love the outcome of your efforts but I understand the frustration! I am not one to give up easily too and I find satisfaction in finally getting it right!So well done my dear you have nailed it!!!:-)
Lots of hugs,
Cardarian
Love the dark card, but then it's black, which makes everything right in my world. I do sympathise, though, nothing worse than seeing something in your head that will just not work in reality. But you got some relaxing time, which is good. Hugs, Shaz XxX
Totally see where you are coming from, but I give up much earlier on in the process and do something completely different. Adore the colours on the black card, they look pretty fab to me
Oh Julia,
I enjoyed reading your thought process and the decisions you made. Your cards all look great, although they weren't what you first intended.
I like the "Keep it simple" idea!
Hugs,
Kay
Oh Julia, I so get it... am so like that in my card making that's why I end up with so many snippets.
I actually love the final result and think absolutely nothing is lacking love gold embossing on black card and those colours are perfect.
Sending hugs and prayers for the trooper in you that keeps on keeping on in spite of impediments. 😄
Doing my WOYWW 400 post, warm sunny and dreally hottish here.
Thanks for sharing your inspiration,

Loved reading about your card process and as long as your having fun that's all that matters you could always add in a little sentiment banner that is stapled on one edge so you can left it to see the full flowers underneath the last one on the black looks fab hugs Nikki
The end result was definitely worth the effort. I spend more time fiffing and faffing than actually doing the technical bits of creating
