Just Perfect

Hey everyone,
Time to start a new challenge at Tuesday Throwdown!  This week it's all about love.
We have the wonderful Sami Stamps as our sponsor this week, and she has provided some adorable images for our team to use.
I chose to use With You.  I had this really cool idea of having a watercolor rainy background and the sweet couple cuddled under the umbrella together...and it just didn't work out.  I tried several times to get the look I wanted before finally settling on this version...I love doing washy watercolor but when it comes to actually getting good detail for an image and making it pop...I can't seem to figure it out.  Guess I just need to keep practicing.

Since I was so frustrated already with the watercoloring, I decided to keep the rest of the card really simple because it was late and I just wanted to be done.  So I stamped a little sentiment tag and added it behind a button and twine.

The card is still really cute, just not what I had originally planned in my mind.

I will be absent for the rest of this week...we are headed back to MI for some sad family matters.  Asking for your thoughts and prayers for my husbands family please.

Thanks for being awesome!! <3

    Hi Emily, I know it can be frustrating when our ideas don't turn out the way we think they should, but I think the rain idea was successful. I love the couple under the umbrella and the button with the bow behind it is cute. I'll be praying for you and yours during this time of sadness.

    Not sure what you initially had in mind, but this is amazing! I love the watercoloring and love the sprinkles that look like rain. Hoping the family issues work out OK.
