How are you? Sorry I haven't been around. Don't even get me started. It's been insane. I keep thinking that the job will ease up as soon as we get through x. But then there is y. And no matter how much we think that will be the last level of craziness then there is z and it's five best friends sneaking up on us around the corner. Sigh.
I did manage to squeeze in a little bit of crafty time the other day, but it's like going back to the gym, the first time is a complete disaster. I did manage to do an intervention to save today's card from joining it's friends in the bin by applying a bit of banner magic. As we haven't seen the sun for ages, I thought a bright yellow card would light up the day a bit. I used the spritzer tool on the background card, and splattered some watercolour as well, although it doesn't show very well on the photo.

This is a perfect take on our challenge! Without you telling about the disaster, I would't think there was something wrong with it. So happy to see you sharing your card with us at Addicted to CAS Challenge. -Ksenija, DT

I feel the same about life being super busy at the moment as well (hence my commenting so long after you linked your card....), so it is nice when you can finally squeeze in some card making here and there. This is such a happy, sunny card and your colouring of the flowers is amazing. I'm so glad you joined us at TIME OUT and hope things calm down for you soon!
very pretty, love your design. Thanks for joining us at ATCAS!
Love that you created a mirror image and so beautifully colored, too. Great take on the challenge. So glad you joined us at ATCAS this week
