Sadly I couldn't even do that with this one as I would have had to chop off too much - I stamped the bottom left of the card perfectly well, masking flowers as I went along.
Felt just a teeny smug as apart from one little smudge all appeared just fine. Turned my attention to the sentiment and placement - decided, stamped and again - just fine.
I left it alone for a while to give the ink chance to dry and then sat and spent a relaxing time using some new watercolours. Was happy!
The I decided (foolishly) that the top right looked a little bare - so I stamped again using just the smallest flower- fine. Masked over the stamp to add the tiniest bit of leaf and the damn mask slipped - hence what can only be described as the jumbly ink mass in the top tight trying to be disguised with watercolour. I was SO mad!
OH said it looks fine so have bitten the bullet and shared it. (Not before adding a couple of sequins and two of the tiniest gems!)

We're still being battered by very strong winds here - the moor top certainly can whip up the worst winds I have ever experienced! But there's something about being all warm and cosy when the wind hail/sleet is battering against the windows isn't there! Thanks for calling by - stay warm and safe wherever you are. x

Beautiful card with such gorgeous flower images Viv. I am sure I wouldn't have noticed your boo boo if you hadn't pointed it out! Susan x
You are far too hard on yourself, the overall effect is so beautiful. I have done things like that myself, thinking I will just add a little bit, and ruining the whole thing, but yours has worked very well :o)

This is a beautiful card Viv, super watercolouring and a case of if you hadn't mentioned the top corner then I wouldn't have noticed! ............but I feel your pain when you feel you have messed up. We are our worse critics. Is it a top fold card?.I was thinking if not you could have cut off the corner and made it fancy. I love it anyway Viv
