Day 2 - "B"

This was originally a practice piece, but I was so happy with the artsy look of the baubles that I decided to use it on a card. It wasn't a complete success though... the rather large sentiment flag is hiding a bit of a mess, but we'll just keep that between ourselves.

I do love the artsy look of this one, Beccy. It's always nice if you can cover up a booboo. But if else fails, you can always try to turn it into a feature...

I love the coloring of the baubles! They are stunning. Large sentiments often save the day on my cards. LOL! Isn't that why we have them? Happy weekend!

Wow, it's beeautiful!! Nobody will notice that you've hidden something! It Just made a mistake today with stamping the sentiment on my finished card, luckely I have a great eraser so I didn't have to start all over again.

BEYOND BEAUTIFUL card Beccy!
Your baubles and background are MAGICAL - WOW!
THANK YOU for sharing, not just the artistry of the image panel ... I take great comfort in learning the secret of your sentiment, I thought I was all alone in hiding things with embellishments :)

Such a beautiful card! I love the "messy" effect you created behind the ornaments. I love that you decided to use your image even if you made a oopps! That´s what I try to teach my kids in school. It´s ok to make mistake when you creating and how can we change this to make it work!

This is gorgeous, Beccy! Those baubles are so sparkly. If you hadn't told us the sentiment was hiding a booboo, nobody would have known. :-D I'm so glad that the 30 days have begun again this year. I'll do my best to play each day but this year my schedule is a bit fuller than it's been in the past few years. Still it's such a great way to get cards ready for the holidays. I'm off to write up my first 2 posts for A and B.

I love your baubles, such perfect design. This baubles remind me on my grandma and her antique baubles, they are the same all these years since I was a little kid.

Just doing some catch up Becky, and this really caught my eye, wondered how you did background, beautiful use of your lovely long image would make a great DL size card which I like for a change. Great inspiration!
Thanks for sharing and every blessing,
