I had so many ideas in my head for the current colour challenge at The Paper Players... but nothing was turning out the way I wanted it to. I finally settled on this card, but it took HOURS for it to come together! Well not hours in row... I'd do a bit, play with it and put it aside while I worked on something else... picked it up again and played some more, put it aside... I did this several times before I got the paper strips the right width, the sentiment right, the shape right.... and in the end I'm happy with it!
