Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration #49 {1}

I have a little bit of time in this busy Easter morning to post the pictures of the cards for the Kristina Werner's challenge.

I will come later today to fill in the blanks! :-)

Thanks so much for understanding!

*** a couple of hours later...

All right, we went to church (to the late service...;-), we had our Easter lunch, desert and coffee, it's time to relax! :-)

I prepared a traditional Romanian Easter meal, with lamb in white wine and rosemary, poppy seed sweet bread, Easter eggs. We savored it! :-)

I didn't want to leave my post hanging, so I came back to write some details about the cards. 

I don't know what was this past week, but I have been on the edge with the card making. Never satisfied, nothing would come together quite right, one night I could almost cry! After comforting me (including getting me a Quickcutz Silhouette he he :-) ), my husband said these wise words :" Don't forget to enjoy it!"  

He was right, I wasn't enjoying it anymore. All I wanted is to get that PERFECT card that would leave everyone in awe! 

I want to go back to enjoying the simplest card that I make for someone dear! 

I have seen post about "struggles" on several blogs now. I am tempted to do some research (for the "old times of a former scientist"'s sake) about the "cycles of inspiration in the card makers species".       

This card was made in the midst of all that "drama" and it took several takes, until I decided on this simple layout. 

"Thanks" Card 4 x 5 1/2 in 

~ Cardstock: "Garage Sale" Collection;

~ Paper: Stampin' Up! Delicate Dots;

~ Buttons and golden thread: my granny-in-law vintage collection :-)

~ Sentiment: "Thanks" from Say it with Stamps.

I love those little birdies!! :-) 

Any comment would be much appreciated!
