double your pleasure, double your fun!

i generally try to make one card for each challenge in which i participate, but sometimes...well, sometimes mister clock is just *NOT* my friend...so this time i had to double up. thus, i present to you a card which is my entry not only for nicola's sketch #3 at my paper world, but also the first card challenge over at maisymary's findings which i thought was just make a "thank you" card. (alternately, you can make a black and white and pink card.) of course, when i went back and re-read the rules, i realized the thank you card was also meant to include flowers *and* brads which aren't one's usual style. seems like i kinda sorta slightly missed that bit in the first reading. it's got some really really old flower-shaped purple eyelets on it, though...does that count?? (sorry, pearl--i'll do better next time!) anyway, here's the card:

(patterned paper: sei, basic grey, anna griffin; tag: oriental trading; letters: dcwv, american crafts; eyelets: making memories; trims: queen & co; making memories; other: colorbox inks, jewelcraft gems, foam tape) (please note the green tag and the background of the grapes paper not only DON'T clash in real life, they actually go together quite nicely also, the card is not crooked. i could NOT get a good picture of this sucker no matter what i did, so finally i gave up! )
