Not so Fabulous...

Remember my sunflower plate challenge from earlier this week? Well, here's my project for the challenge. I used Stampin' Up's set called Fabulous Flowers to create this card.

A couple of things worth noting... see the "blobbier" looking spots on either side of the big sunflower? Grr.... Glimmer Mist is to thank for those. I tried to conceal them a bit by stamping more of the little squiggly images all over the background, but I'm not sure I succeeded. Also, now that I look at this card, I realize I should have reversed the colors of the flower. The center of the flower should have been dark, and the outer layers light. NUTS! Ah well... this card really does Dare to be Fabulous, but I think it falls short.

Be sure to check out the cards others made for the challenge. You'll find links to them in the comments section of my challenge post, HERE. Thanks to everyone who played along! YOU dared to be fabulous, and succeeded!

um, what blobs? and why would you put the light colors down first? that would be backwards! this is a really neat card. lots of work to get it done, i'm thinking. although it looks more like a mum than a sunflower.
if i see another post like this, i am going to email you a wet noodle! :)
love your blogs!

LOL
Okay ... I can see the "should have" in your color layers ... but it's "after" you mention it! hahaha And the Glimmer Mist blops?? If you tried over & over again X25, I doubt you would get the same "spray fall". Ahhhhh, Anna! You sometimes are "prey" to the pitfalls that I am! Wow! *wink*

Anna, Anna, Anna,

the card is fabulous! I love your work, and have spent long periods of time on your blog. If you only knew how much inspiration you give to me!

What a gorgeous card. May I make one as unfabulous as that one today! (wink, wink) I totally understand your thoughts, but if you hadn't pointed them out, I would never have seen those "blobs". Looks stunning!

[Linda Mcclain]

Okay, I should be so not-so-fabulous. It's gorgeous, like so much of your work.

I love your card and the colors. The darker petals against the card show up the flower more than if you had them arranged the opposite way. And, it doesn't look too splotchy. What's that saying about being our own worst critic ;-)

[Sherri]

I like it just like it is.... Hope to see you soon!

[Lori Craig]

Beautiful sunflower! Absolutely love it!

[Debbie]

I really like it! In general, I just can't warm up to this flower stamp, but I have to say that this is only 2 or 3 I've seen that tempts me sorely to reconsider. I would be thrilled to receive this card!

[Sue B]

Yes, it's WAY "blobby," and I'd be happy to take it off your hands - lol!! You should link it to Beate's weekend challenge too!

later, alligator!

[Linda C.]

You gotta be kidding me! All of your cards are FABULOUS including this one!! If you're tired of looking at it my address is 3205.......LOL

Oh quit being so poopy pants about your card, anyone who received it would be oohhhhing & ahhhing over it!!! LOL

I still haven't tried out my Glimmer Sprays, I just may have to get a little messy this weekend and give them a go. Perhaps we should all have a "spray off!!" LOL

Have a great weekend Anna! :)
