Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #13





Hello again! 

I'm tired! Who knew that making a card is actually hard physical work?! My fingers hurt for being strained in just the right position on the ribbon, my eyes sting from so much concentration and when I take the picture, I feel my whole face distorting in the attempt of catching just THAT clarity! 

I lost a dear friend in this struggle: my last sheet of spring moss cardstock. It lays in the scrap bin, smeared with ink. What am I gonna do without spring moss cardstock? I had to use another sheet, a little bit lighter. 

So, here is the card that I worked at for a couple of hours, with recovery breaks in between. I wonder if I lost any calories.

Love EVERYTHING about your card! Also noticed all of the polka dot details like on the leaves and the circle detail framing the flower. Nice.
