Have you ever had trouble taking a picture of a card? I know you're shaking your head in agreement!! I'm so super bummed because I absolutely, 100% love how this card turned out and I can't for the life of me get a good photo of it. I took a gazillion photos inside, under the Ott-lite, with flash, without, then I ventured outside and almost blew away snapping photos out there. It is creepy dark outside. Something is definitely blowing in and as I stared at the dark clouds rolling in, I kept hearing that music from the Wizard of Oz - you know the one they play when the witch always comes around. 
Yea, I know, I have issues! Anyhow, I couldn't get any of the reds to match - they do I swear and it looks like I added a dead poinsettia to my card. Not so - it's just really dark. Ugh - I tell you all of this so hopefully you will take pity on me and still leave me comments, LOL. I did manage to snap a few closeups that turned out okay and showed more detail. I colored Polly in with Koh-i-noor pencils and OMS. She is outlined with at Copic C1. Do you see the shimmerz?? I added Royal Red Shimmerz to the berries, bow and sack. 
Now here is a pic of my "dead" poinsettia. See it's just a deep maroon color! Sigh, oh well. I hope y'all still like it! This was for Mojo 64 which is a fabulous layout by the way! Go try it out.

I think it's an adorable card and yes, I have many days where I have issues with photographing my cards!!
It is still a gorgeous card regardless if the camera is behaving itself or not! And yes, I have issues with my camera and the lack of daylight in the Northeast lately! :D
I don't think we ever do our cards justice! That being said, she is super cute and I love your card!
I hate it when cards are hard to photograph! I think it's a great photo of the card, and the card is way super cute!
It's tough to tell - you better send it to me so I can check it out better. LOL

Lol, thanks for the giggles, now when I see a storm coming I'm going to have that music in my head! :)
Yes, I've had the same problems, especially with reds! Anyway, I can see that your card is cute as can be!! I'm loving that shimmerz effect, pretty!
Kim you are so funny! You're card looks great! I never would of noticed that your poinsettia was dead if you hadn't of pointed it out! ;)
Kim...you make me chuckle! But I understand your issues. However, your card looks fabulous and I just know it is a total knock out in person!
SOOOO Cute!!! Love that image!
Adorable card, Kim... cute image and great for the Mojo! And since late Fall, I haven't been able to get a decent photo... blah.
Super cute card. I'm seriously thinking of taking some basic photography classes because any time I take a photo as well it doesn't look like what I have in front of me.
It's gorgeous dear, even with a picture you are unhappy with! :) I have some of that figgy pudding bg paper left and I just can't bring myself to use it all up!
I feel your pain! We can see through the dark lighting and see how pretty your card is. Dead poinsettia -- hahaaaa!!!
I'm waiting for the sun to come out so I can take a few pictures of a few cards to load. Although, that might not happen, it's pouring snow (can snow be 'pouring?!).
this is so gorgeous
Wow! That shimmer is so beautiful!! I need to get my hands on some!! TFS!
This is such an adorable card! Thanks for playing along! :)
