DDD's say "Hello!" :)

Happy Hello to all!
 
Although it's tax day, the 15th is always the day the Dueling Darlings post our cards from card kits with a chosen theme from our hostesses
 Tami and Melina ...
"I'd pick a flower for you."
 
For those of you new to my blog, the Dueling Darlings (DDD)
is a group I dreamed up over 4 years ago and most of us original
members are still going strong!
The two opposing "dueling" teams:  The Divas (me!) and the Dazzlers
chose a card kit theme and send card kits to the other members ~
and we create a card around it ..
how fun is that!

*EDITED - updated card :)
I kept the old photo at the bottom, but it so broke my heart to look at it,
and it's just not what I wanted to present.
I ended up using up so much of the dsp that I had just scraps to work with,
and created this patchwork cheer instead ♥

 
 
 

Sadly, this month left me short of time and creativity
and I am really, really disappointed with my card :(
I plan to create a second one soon as Tami's kit was bright and
beautiful ...  the idea in my head just fell flat
and nothing like I envisioned!
I offer my humblest apologies to the team and to Tami!
 
Be sure to see what the rest of the team created
with their kits as well ~ they are in my sidebar!
 
Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!
~Kelly

  13. Girlfriend - you have no reason to be ashamed of your card - it's BEAUTIFUL! Sometimes less is more and because of the bold bright colors - more fuss would have taken away from color spotlight. I think your card is just PERFECT the way it is!!!!
