2nd Design Team Project for CHD challenge blog 15 October 2020

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! My artsy-crafty heart gets nervous when I start on a new design team because I tend to second-guess my creative decisions a lot more. Such as with this card #1 for the October monthly challenge starting at Createful Heart Designs: this card had some pre-planning, but I kept overanalyzing and trying so many different options and directions of papers and prints. What should have been a 1 hour project ended up being 2-2.5 hours!!! Ugh. Late night too.
