Floral Frustration.....

I just got the Floral Background and the Flowers of Gratitude at my SU party. I have spent all day looking at them, trying different things and I am so frustrated.......I HATE THEM! I looked in the gallery before I even chose them and every card looked so beautiful....I need some help and more inspiration. Ready to toss them in the garbage!

Talking "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?"

"Practice. Practice. Practice."
I had the same problem with a different set -- 'In Full Bloom'. Thought that I needed it. After I got it couldn't get anything right. In frustration, I went back to the gallery and totally copied a couple of cards. I mean I really copied them... even took a ruler up to the computer screen and measured just how big the strips of cardstock were in proportion to the rest of the card. After a couple of cards that looked exactly like someone else's work, I finally "got the hang of it."
Keep trying. You'll like it again in time.
