Sugar Bowl challenge card



I'm back - well kind of!!! I've still got my parents here until tomorrow and with my girls off school and nursery and my husband actually taking a week off we've been out and about doing loads of visits to things. We have lots of gorgeous beaches near us which the girls love. Great fun but not very condusive to card making!!

Still, I've managed to get this card done for the Sugar Bowl challenge. I have to admit, I'm not very happy with it. I mucked about with the colours for ages and I still don't think it's quite right, but I couldn't work out why!!!

The challenge was to do a card for Easter or Spring, so I used my Lola with Bunny stamp. I decided to frame it with punched flowers and that was where my trouble started!! I thought I should have quite a plain background with all the flowers and the image, but nothing seems quite right. In the end I've used some spotty paper from Clare Curd's Big One paper pack (I know I use this a lot but I love it!!!). I coloured it lime green-ish with chalk.

The stamped image is coloured with whispers brushmarkers.
Anita's gems from the mini gemstone wheel on all the punched flowers.
Cardstock and green handmade paper from stash.
Fibres - Grafix Create it! Craft ribbon - I think this was meant to be a kids pack but it looked great!!!

Thanks for looking. I'd be interested in your opinions as I still don't think this card is quite right!!!
