For the past few weeks, Claire at Waltzingmouse has been coming up with a challenge for us every Monday. I'm a little late in the game because I have been under the weather. I've been sneaking to my desk between lying in bed and sleeping. This card took me four days to make - CRAZY! There is still time to play along before a new challenge is issued on Monday. You can get all the deets here. This week is a color challenge that Claire is appropriately calling Cranberry Sauce.
Here's my finished card:
Stay healthy!

Sorry to hear you hae been under the weather, but what a better place to be but snuggled in bed. Beautiful card, love the gradient colours.
First off, I hope you feel better really soon!!! Sometimes the best thing is just to rest (which seems to be the hardest thing to do when you're not feeling good). Hugs Jeanne!!!
Secondly, your card is gorgeous! Whenever you post, I always check out what cardstock colors you used in your supply list:) The reds are just so rich and beautiful! And that little loop of wired pearls? I'm dying over those.
Feel better soon my dear!
Oh so sorry to hear you don't feel well! This is a true beauty of a card......the monochromatic ruffles to the dimensional heart! So pretty!
Goodness how dedicated are you to get up out of your sick bed to create this lovely card Jeanne! I love the layered die cut strips and your gorgeous layered heart! I had such trouble with using ALL of the colors! Finally got something posted tonight during our blizzard here in MA!
Simply stunning Jeanne! I love those die cut borders.
Hope you feel better soon x
You couldn't rush Michelangelo with the Sistine Chapel, right?! No WONDER this took you 4 days, it's Valentine perfection! Love the layered heart and the lovely rich colors of the border. PS...Hope you feel better soon :) I am afraid that signs of the stomach bug are starting to buzz around at the Schirmers, grrrr!
LOVE how you did the layers on the bottom in different colors. This is so sweet with the pretty heart and cluster of flowers. Sounds like you are more than a little under the weather. Hope you are starting to feel better. Take care and get all the rest you can.
Oh my stars lady this is pure awesomness! You are just so uber talented!
It is no fun being sick but I hope you are on the mend soon. I am in love with this card, just beautiful and that lacy border, amazing!
What a beautiful card. I love your frilled border
I do hope you're feeling better now - sometimes we simply need to sleep!
Your card is absolutely stunning! I love the graduated lacey border and the dimensional heart - just fab!

This card possesses the same richness as Claire's inspiring photograph. As usual, I adore your combination of embellishments.
Oh good lord... I know I'm seriously busy when I think I've commented on a card and haven't!! Love all those border layers with the use of gradient colors11 Heart is fab!! These colors put my "pea brain" in a tizzy!!
Well, it was totally worth the four days, Jeanne! It's stunning! I really love the gradient effect with your paper layers! Hope you get to feeling better soon. Hugs!
