Well another Paper Crafts submissions call has been and gone, and I didn't get selected again. But that's okay, I'll keep on trying. One day one of my cards will make it into print...eventually, LOL! Amber over at Damask Love is having another Reject Blog Hop, and I am joining in again. I love seeing the "rejects" because they are all wonderful and full of inspiration. Most of them I can't believe didn't get selected. It just goes to show how many excellent cards the selection team have to choose from.
I submitted five cards this time. Four of them I really liked. One of those I knew wouldn't get selected, but I liked it so much I just had to throw it in (just in case). One of them I was not sure of, but thought I'd put it in, because you never know what other people like.
The one I am sharing here, I do like. It was in response to the Sketch challenge. I wish I had remade it when I decided the dimensions/balance were wrong. Not to worry, I WILL make it again, for my own enjoyment because I love the colours and the images on this card. And it's really pretty in real life, even nicer than the picture reflects.
Card: SU! Soft Suede, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla
Paper: SU! Mocha Morning Specialty (Oh, how I love this paper)
Stamps: Jane's Doodles Pretty Peonies, SU! Curly Cute
Ink: SU! Early Espresso, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Versamark
Other: Clear Embossing powder, Pearls, Shimmer Mist
So, what do you think of my "reject"? I like it.

You know I love tone on tone colours, particularly in brown - this is stunning and can't work out why it wouldn't be picked. All I can think for mine is that they must have been stuck for cards in the heat embossing section.
Love the colours of this card Michelle and that centre flower looks gorgeous. I am sure one day you will get published :)
I love the colors, too!! I also submitted five cards and none was accepted. :-( Just keep trying. I remember reading that one of the "Go To Girls" (Betsy maybe?) submitted several times before she was published!! Anyways, this card is beautiful!!
Beautiful card Michelle!!
Keep submitting - you're cards are definitely publish worthy!!
Really pretty card! I tried this sketch too - interesting to see how everyone interprets it!
I love your reject!! The colours are so warm and inviting!!
