Remember back around 10 days ago when I asked you whether this card was a hit or a miss?
Picture
 I got one response, which suggested a less vivid background.  Last night I was on a video chat with my upline and several of my "sister" demonstrators, and I pulled out the card and asked for their opinions.  They agreed that the background was fighting the flowers. ​We ran through a couple of options and landed on this:
Picture
Now what do you think?  The flowers certainly take centre stage this way! Did you notice that I eliminated one of the flowers?  Don't worry, I'll put it to good use.
Picture
I was so tempted to just chuck the entire card in the bin because I wasn't happy with it.  I'm glad I reached out for input instead, since those one-of-a-kind flowers are too interesting to throw away.

World Cardmaking Day is celebrated on the first Saturday of October each year.  This has usually meant throwing open my home to anyone who wants to make cards for a good cause - paediatric hospitals in Phoenix and Melbourne.  This year will be different, because 2020, right?

I will be crafting cards from the Global Paper Pumpkin Kit: Box of Sunshine, and welcome everyone to come play along.  You can purchase your own kit here, or just make some cards using your own stash.  (Don't forget to add a clear block if you don't have one!)

Then we will prepare our cards to send out to some friends and family who could use a little bit of sunshine!  I hope you'll be part of the fun!

Zoom Info:
Saturday, 3 October, 10:00 am AEST (check your time zone here)
