We decided on KCUK that it may be good to have a weekly challenge while lots of us are confined to our homes and the post seems to be very iffy right now, so I set out to make a very delicate Spring Flowers card...oops! That background was gorgeous, until I spattered gold paint, and forgetting that it was still wet, turned it over to add tape! So I had to rescue it as best I could. By then, I'd already added the Gathered Twigs stamping and edging, but I had to use a wet sponge to spread some of the gold, so it was no longer delicate and pale, lol.
Plus, the word Spring that I had sstamped just wasn't a bold enough font to stand out over the flowers and branches, so I then had to root through my die cut letters and find something to cover it. So much for plans 😊
But I still like it, lol. I probably shouldn't have stamped anything other than the main words, but I had a wonderfully messy couple of hours of fun.

I think your Spring flowers card came out perfect. Beautiful artwork.
I know how frustrating that is Cath but I can't tell from my view that this card's background had a problem. It is just beautiful and such a pretty card. Hugs-Erika
Hi Cath! I see no problems with the background at all. And the wording seems perfect as well. You are just too critical on yourself. LOL Stay safe and elbow hugs.
WOW absolutely stunning, Cath. I love your card ...

Such a beautiful card Cath reminds me of Japanese blossom a little. It is a lovely stamp and you have coloured it so beautifully and the background is just perfect for it. You are the Queen of backgrounds.
Hugs, Neet xx
