How Did I Get Here?

The other day I posted this card and mentioned that I had a 

completely different idea in mind when I headed to my 

craft room to play.

This was the card that I had in mind to make. Completely

different right? 

How did I get here?

I started both cards by masking off stripes and sponging on

some gray ink. But on the first card the stripes are wider as I 

grabbed the wrong tape. After I sponged them I didn't feel they 

worked with the flower card I had in mins - so, masculine it was.

I really like the width of these stripes, and just having the gray

and white really helps the 'vine' and the flowers to pop.

I love when that happens though - starting with an image in mind 

but something triggers a new idea that goes in a completely

different direction - and that both ideas work out.

It makes for a very happy and productive crafting day.
