I struggled with Kristina's color challenge #39 this week. The colors reminded me of Disney World, which is not really my thing.
The first card I created was declared by my husband to be 'the ugliest card you've ever made' ... and even I had to admit, while it probably wasn't the ugliest, it was darn close.
Of course, I couldn't give up ... I had to persist and try again. The second creation got a thumbs up from my husband ... and I like it too.
The 100th CPS Challenge is to pick a favorite sketch from 1 through 99. I used Sketch #75 for my design.
The stamp is Laugh by Paper Bag Studios. The border punch is Martha Stewart
This is lovely:)
