No one will ever believe what I went through to make this card for this blog hop.  This was my first take, but let me tell you what happened to me this evening.”…what had happend was…” I wanted to use all the new products to show you my favorite stamp set, which I had not used until today.  I chose the new In-Colors Tip Top Taupe and Mint Macaron with a hint of Watermelon Wonder to go with the You’ve Got This stamp set.

Well, although I didn’t like the way the colors blended together, I love them at the same time!  My eyes say, “Oh no, this puts the (ug) in u-g-l-y!”  So, what did I do!?  I went back to the drawing board to make another card.  It came out very pretty with colors that pleased my eyes…yet here it is, my original master-piece.  I thought well, whatev!  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  Enjoy the ugly ducking in all it’s beauty!
