That's all I can say. Fortunately, there are lots of ways to make backgrounds. I think my problem is that I try too hard so it doesn't have that spontaneous look to it.

I checked out her cards and her use of simple with white. stunning, but so are yours.... and mine will never look like yours but we'll both continue to bless people with them!<br />luvhymnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15000076647270345198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-56196741463708583892019-02-16T20:28:54.639-05:002019-02-16T20:28:54.639-05:00Interesting today, Joan.

The thing is, you tried something and it didn't turn out exactly like your inspiration piece, but all three that you're showing are the beginnings of pretty darn nice cards. I hope you don't throw them out. You're trying different things and learning what you can and can't do, or maybe after a breather you'll try again and figure it out. I'm certainly enjoying this series.Leslie Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12242569371751832426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-70107371003625772752019-02-16T14:47:42.401-05:002019-02-16T14:47:42.401-05:00Whatever you're doing, as long as the process ...Whatever you're doing, as long as the process brings you joy, it's all good! 👌🏼☺️❤️Julie Ebersolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361494243487029280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-18319477625587129682019-02-16T14:15:41.751-05:002019-02-16T14:15:41.751-05:00Ain't it da truff!

But it is definitely worth the effort to try. Yu can learn so much about yourself and your own particular style. I love this series you are doing. tonileahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13286635387587254647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-33211286256877630952019-02-16T12:24:26.459-05:002019-02-16T12:24:26.459-05:00Now before you say, “I can’t” look again at the mi...Now before you say, “I can’t” look again at the middle background piece in your photo. I LOVE that! It may not have as much white as you were trying for, but, it would make a gorgeous background for your sentiment. I hope you didn’t toss it. Give it some gold splatter love and let’s see it when you finish! Love your wonderful posts!Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08132441666676400797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-77094885773838353612019-02-16T11:50:01.381-05:002019-02-16T11:50:01.381-05:00I love this series your doing.

I need to stretch myself and try some other things. You let me know it's okay if new techniques don't work out. The point is to try! I really want to try this acrylic block stamping and now I will. I won't worry if it doesn't work out, but at least I will have tried. :DJanet https://www.blogger.com/profile/09552814690583251432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-62911216949354763322019-02-16T08:26:33.704-05:002019-02-16T08:26:33.704-05:00I am really enjoying this trip you are taking.

I loved how you called it deceptively simple :P you have no clue how your work has always impressed me, your florals and the colours you choose are out of the world.. am your fan because of them. I hope the other inspirations do work for you, even if they don't.. with this post I learn to accept failures and write them about too. Thank you for this valuable lesson.
