why...?

...do my mom and sister really like this card?


I mean sure, it's got some beautiful Waltzingmouse and Hero Arts stamps on it, but what else?


{sigh}...I dunno. I've been wondering about this for awhile, and I still don't understand it. I'm just not a big fan of this card, I guess. Though I do like the color combo, from Moxie Fab World. :) I really did fit all the pinks in there - you probably can't tell, but those two pink pearls on the butterfly? Well, they're different shades. I'm not kidding.

Seriously.

I'm not!

Anyways, this is also for the Walzingmouse CASE challenge - my card was inspired by Laurie. I kinda went with the sketch of her card, but I was really taken with Laurie's use of vellum - I can't even remember the last time I pulled this stuff out before this card!

Have an awesome weekend and thanks for popping in! :)
