    The twill, the tiny little pearls so perfectly place, that little curled corner......so many beautiful details! Oh, and everything happens for a reason. Your teacher's accusation turned your attention from him to the sweetheart waiting in line for your attention! Good luck!

    This card is beautiful, Sony! All of that lovely distressing, the fabulous earth tones, the great twill and liquid pearl accents are perfect! Just chock full of gorgeous eye candy!
    I hope things get better at school...that must have been an awful ordeal you had to go through...hopefully the fun drama of the "new guy" will take away some of your anxiety.

    Wow, beautiful card! Sorry for the drama you are facing. I know what you mean about the outrage that you feel with the accusation. I was accused of plagiarism in college. Of course, I had done my own work and the only thing that remotely resembled the citations was chronological order. I took my revenge by acing that professor's final! Good luck in the class!

    Lovely card. Love the DPs you used and the twine and button on the sentiment panel. I say ditch the teacher and keep the old school guy - they are hard to come by and it is wonderful to be treated like a lady :)

    Your card is wonderful. I love the color and the pearl drops. Sorry to hear about the way your teacher treated you. It would have been hard for my to control my temper, I would have looked for him, found him, and went off on him. But that's me, I hate being called a liar or a cheat. I'm glad to hear your date went well. He sound like a keeper.

    This is a really fabulous card. Sorry your teacher said that to you. I think you should discuss it with him when you calm down.

    My two cents.

    So sorry about all the drama - that stinks about your teacher accusing you of cheating. :-( I hope it all works out! But your card is seriously gorgeous, girl. And I'm glad you were able to go out with a gentleman. They're the best. ;-) Cheers!

    Yes, 40% off Dare to Be is a great deal! And your card is off the charts gorgeous! I cannot believe your teacher would accuse you of painting over an original-has he seen your cards? I mean really? really?! So glad your date went well, hope it leads to another.

    Hope you can straighten that teacher out! He obviously doesn't know you're talented and didn't need to paint over anything. Good luck with that! Great card too!

  31. Betty WrightMay 1, 2011 at 4:23 PM

    WOW! Sony, I a so sorry to hear about the drama with your art teacher and such. Totally weird. I guess the flip side is he really thought the work was fabulous and there was no way a student could possibly be better than he is....bahhahaha! Men! I am glad to hear things did get better with the testosterone species. Sounds delightful!

    By the way, your card is wonderful! Love the rich colors and fabulous details. I see you are rockin' some liquid pearls. Lovely card!

    I absolutely LOVE your card! It is amazing! I love the colors and florals and background. Just stunning! And the teacher maybe a jerk at the moment, but it is still kinda a compliment that he thought you painted over an original right? It just proves how fabulous you really are! And what a fun date! I had one of those once, a very long time ago! Hope the drama calms down for you!
