Bobbing on By

You know when you make a card and it doesn't work how you want, so you start again ... well this is attempt number 3 with this little cutie!! I started it on Sunday afternoon!!!  Orginally I was going to use some SU maculine papers and the sketch, but it looked too grungy, then I tried embossing instead of patterned papers, but that didn't look right, so I have resorted to spots!!  It also meant that I had to use 2 mats as I changed my backing colour from brown to red!!  But I got there eventually I guess.
