Unity Friends With Flair -- following directions is hard to do!

Another Friday!  Woohoo!  And this weekend may prove particularly exciting for me.  I've been saving for 3 years to buy myself a new Harley.  It's my midlife crisis, lol.  I got a call from the dealership today that the bike is in, but some part needed to install the saddlebags isn't in yet.  I'm hoping to get everything in order tomorrow so I can go pick it up on Saturday, ride it without the bags until the part comes in, then bring the bike back to get the bags put on.  So, if all goes well, I'll bring home my dream bike very, very soon.

Sorry for digressing there.  Now, on to Friends with Flair.... there is so much talent every week with these Unity peeps.  I'm amazed every single Friday.  I created this card for an accordion card challenge, and I also wanted to use it for the Ippity Challenge -- no pink, no purple, no flowers, no bling.  Well, the first one I made I put bling on without thinking about it.  The second one I made used a flower punch.  See?  following directions is very hard for me!  This is what I came up with in the end:
I'll enter this care in the Ippity challenge -- no flowers or bling, so I think it will qualify.

I like this card with the compass, but I accidentally "blinged it up" a bit, emphasizing the compass points.  Darn!


Here it is, with the accordion opened up.


And, here's my favorite version of the card.  But, there are flowers on the belly band, so I'm not gonna submit it.  Oh, I never learn!

  13. Lovely cards! I too have a problem focusing on the directions of a challenge. The bonus to it is that you now have 3 cards made instead of 2 ;) Lol!

    Congratulations on your Harley! I hope that you are out riding today :D
