Do you know what is so wonderful about creating? I think it is how sometimes you can surprise even yourself. For me, the most genuine and rewarding part about creating is the process. I think this is so true in every aspect of my creative life. Heck, maybe even life in general. I have been thinking about the process a lot recently. Do you enjoy the choices you make to get to a final product? Do you embrace the frustrations along the way? Those moments when we feel all human and not so heroic? I do. I think I have come to fully embrace and love the process, and to really slow down and enjoy it. This is sort of what happened while making this card. I found that something a little unexpected was really joyful! Here is the card from the front:
This was a fun one. The graphic cleanliness and pattern is exciting. The color palette striking, but maybe somewhat expected. But then…look from the side:
Small moments like this in the process that become big moments like this in design just make me smile. Isn’t that what it is all about?

Love it! Love that pop of color on the inside…you’re right — totally unexpected! Thanks for sharing your inspirations and discoveries!
Gorgeous! I have a hand made purse that is black and white strips on the outside and hot pink on the inside and I never thought to make a card like that! Brilliant!
GOR-GE-OUS! Love that touch of pink!
OOOOhhhh scrumptious Becky!!!!
Ok yes, that is just a stroke of brilliance!!! Also you are a jerk. Because I didn’t think I needed Birds of a Feather but now I’m thinking I need it for that “Merci” alone.
So delightful Becky!! What a neat thrill that will be the recipient!!
Beautiful and perfect Becky!!! I love it so much!
Wow! Truly elegant! That pop of color is just genius!!! Great job!
This is quite lovely Becky!!

Love this, great job!
Wow! Could not agree with you more in the design process giving such pleasure. I happened to put a card together last night with the Black and White Patterned Papers. It truly felt like a WOW when it was finished. I guess in all of life, pleasures come in small ways.
Love this card! I have been trying to come up with a Black and white card for my brother and his new wife to celebrate their wedding and I love yours. The pop of color inside is awesome. Thanks for the inspiration!
