Warts and all


I'm not having a very good week especially in the crafting dept and now this morning I've woken up a silly o'clock. So I decided to get up and maybe tried to catch up blogging but now I'm having issues with my new glasses they are varifocals and seemed incredible sensitive to movement may have to find my old pair.
So my card today well I don't like it what on earth possess me to use these colours, love the papers but I don't know it just doesn't seemed to work.
I've used the sketch from Sketch Saturday and since the butterfly paper was so busy I couldn't bring myself to cover it up so just used some butterflies.
I was tempted to bin it but since it took a couple of days to make it and I don't have any more cards spare to show it will have to do Warts and all.

Oh wow Debby this is stunning I can't see why you don't like it! I have varifocals and never had a problem getting used to them however I am now trying varifocal contact lenses and that is another thing altogether lol - I think they will soon end up in the bin!! xx

If you are having trouble with your varifocals you need to go back to the optician. I have never had a problem but hubby has and they needed adjusting. What a cute image and gorgeous paper. Love the butterflies. I would just tone down the greeen on the image a bit as it is a bit bright for me, but then I'm not into bright green. Apart from that, love it.

Hi Debby,
Sorry about the glasses, makes me crazy when the RX is off, but the card is so sweet. I find sometimes when I feel color is off that I have focused on a color that is in my paper but the eyes see it differently. Try softening the colored bits and you might be happier but I think it is darling.

I think it is very pretty Debby. That PP with the butterflies is delightful

cotnob said...

I think the colour combination is fine Debby and I love your butterfly papers and embellishments.
Stick with the glasses, it took me a while to get used to my second pair of varifocals but I'm glad I persevered.

Beryl said...

On no. Don't bin it. I love those colours. The image matches the bp's so well (or vice versa) but you know what I mean. It's gorgeous.

Anne said...

Hi Debby, you're being too hard on yourself. Maybe not your usual colours but pretty just the same. Never got on wearing my varifocals for crafting or the computer. They now languish in a drawer and I use one contact lens. A visit to the optician again may be called for Debby. Good luck! x

Stamps and Paper said...

So pleased you didn't bin this card I think it's lovely.
Varifocals do take time to get used to but well worth it...although saying that my DH can't wear his...but he is a man..lol..lol

This is gorgeous Debby, fab image and papers and colours.

Sandra said...

You silly girl...it's beautiful and I seriously don't know why we bash ourselves like that. You matched the colours in the papers, the only thing that might be bothering you is perhaps the bright red border, perhaps try going with a more muted red instead. I'll bet that makes a difference. Either way it works for me, lovely image who created this one?

Marian said...

OOOOh look at these 2, so beautiful coloured and gorgeous papers Debby!
I know how it is with those glasses, don't move your head too fast and focus on what part you want to look through otherwise you feel very seasick!!!!! Takes some time but you will get there I'm sure!!!
