Sewing gives me a headache

Me and my sewing machine have a hate - hate relationship. Actually, I think what the problem is, is that I'm determined to prove I'm smarter than the machine and it is determined to prove I'm not. LOL But that's a whole other rant that I may need to reserve for another day.

I'm a little disappointed with how this card photographed. It is loaded with sparkle. The white paper is cryogen white which has a shimmer, the insects and the water have stickles on them and I sprayed the whole card with Shimmerz. I think it is time to invest in a photo tent.

This card is loaded up with challenges. I was challenge hopping before I made this card so it gave me lots of great ideas. Here they are in no particular order:

Stamp with Fun - for the sketch
Totally Gorjuss - the theme is Aqua
A Pocket Full of Posies - All That Glitters
Scrappy Frog - A Stitch in Time
Fun 'n' Funky - Flower Power
Stamp and Create - is also flowers
City Crafter - Isn't she lovely?
Everybody Art - In The Garden
Color Me Creative - Create some green Grass

Your card is beautiful! I LOVE Sarah Kay and this is one of my favorite images. LOL I'm with you on the "it's time to get a light tent" decision. I can't get my cards to show the sparklies and correct colors either. Congrats on you Spotlight at CCCB!
