Now, I did give this photo a glace - yep, bright yellow but as you can see from what I made, the bright colour was the only thing I took from this photo. *smacks forehead. This is what I made
When I read 'Bursts of Colour', I immediately thought of black, white, with a bit of something bright to really pop! Then I was reading Cath's Moxie Fab World blog and there was a colour challenge of black, white, bright pink and orange. Perfect! What stamps should I use - lightbulb - Avairy.
Then it went downhill a bit. The stands for the birdcages ended up being a bit low in the end and not quite as evenly spaced as I would have liked. I should have started again at that point but I had stuck that ruffled ribbon down and it was stuck good & proper and I didn't think it would withstand another move around on the card before totally unravelling. I thought there was a bit too much white space at the top so I added a couple of score lines - oops, bad move - we'll fix that by adding a little more ruffled ribbon and some bling to blind anyone looking too close!
Well, must dash. I've got the grocery & meat shopping to put away before I start the ironing (fun day, hey?)

Jo, before I read the blurb that goes with this gorgeous card, LOL, it struck me as one of the most beautiful cards you've made!! I love it! It was 'meant to be', you know ... just a bit of a creative journey had to be taken to obtain the end result. Stop being so darn hard on yourself!!
