An Ooops and a Save

Let me start out by saying that this card does not photograph well. I'm not sure if it's because the soft pink and green are too light to be picked up by the camera or what. It looks much prettier in real life.
Okay, so on to the Oops. I was following a challenge to use one piece of ribbon , two different designer papers and three flowers. I was so excited to find two pieces of paper that coordinated well that I also had matching ribbon for that I charged ahead and made the card, completing it with a stamp that says "a happy hello" THEN I realized/remembered that the challenge was for Dare you to Digi Stamp so I needed to have a DIGITAL stamp/image on it somewhere. But where? I loved the card the way it was with the main flower image on the dp being the focal point so I didn't want to put anything up there.
On to the Save... I decided I needed a different sentiment. Squigglefly to the rescue! I adjusted the size of this image to fit in the spot where "A Happy Hello" had already been stamped. I colored it with my Copics, rounded the corners and fit in right over the top! I'm pretty happy with the results. I wish it photographed better.
