The Mirri card as well as the contrast between the whites & pinks made this quite difficult to photograph. I normally use the enhance photo editing function but that turned the pink fluorescent so a couple of the photos are somewhat darker than I would have liked. The only way I could manage to keep the colours reasonably true to life was to not edit the exposure at all.

This week the Penny Black Reader Challenge is to create a card using white space as a primary element whereas the Penny Black Saturday Challenge is PRETTY IN PINK.

I think your pictures are just fine...I totally know what you mean-- when the photo editing makes the colors look completely off!...I can clearly see everything you've pointed out:)...I like simple, pretty things, and this card fits the bill!!...Really nice!:):)
