Do you ever try to make a card... and can't seem to get it to look right? I had one of those experiences lately, so I thought I'd show you my trial/error journey to happiness.
Card #1
Card #2
Card #3
I finally gave up and settled with Card #4
This card was actually made for a swap group I'm in that also requires matching envelopes, so I stamped a bit of the image on my envelope, too... and added a touch of ink to the edge.
Here's the inside:

I think they all turned out great Jeanette, but I know what you mean. You have a certain idea in your head and just can't get it to translate to paper. On the bright side - you have four cards whereas you might have stopped with just one had you gotten what you wanted the first time!
Each one has a beauty uniquely its own! Lovely cards, Jeanette!
Ugh! Yes! I know that feeling! It's even worse when you look at scared you just finished and it just doesn't feel completed!
I know just what you're talking about when a card doesn't come out quite the way you pictured it. I have to tell you, though, I like every single one of them! But I do think I like the last one best...tough decision, very tough!
Well Jeanette do not know why you were dissatisfied with cards 1, 2, and 3, they are all pretty - love your combination of stamps and colours all the way through.
Blessings
Maxine
