Thinking of you

 Hi all!

This card evolved out of frustration

I started out with a fussy cut flower I had stamped and colored.
For the life of me, I could not make it work!
I tried this and I tried that but...yuck!

However, in my attempts to make that flower work I had stamped this lacy doily on another piece of paper, which also didn't work! 

But alas...
An ah-ha moment!

I got out a colored piece of cardstock and my white embossing powder and "Ooo, that looks pretty!" came to mind.
But what now? 
I put the colored leaves underneath but it needed more.
So die cut another layer! 
I used the same color paper, 
and
that didn't pop enough for me!
So...
I added pop dots and some
 Nuvo Crystal Drops in Simply White 
and that did the trick. 

I added the sentiment with heat embossing to finish it off.
This card can be one of the favorites I've made!

Just goes to show
 just how good trial and error can turn out for you
 if you keep going!

Thank you for visiting!
Have a wonderful day!
