Hello My Friends,
Have you ever made a card and then looked at it and found it all wrong? That is the problem I am having today. I will tell you what I think went wrong and I would like to hear from you on what else I could do to improve this card. The image is a stamp. I won it from Simply Betty Stamps last fall. I think it is an adorable image. I also think I should have colored it with darker colors perhaps? I also had to use my largest Spellbinder to cut it out, so I did not have a larger piece to frame the white image. The leaf card is from Cameo Silhouette. I have to say the leaf is very beautiful and intricate, maybe not right for this image?
Hugs,
Chriss this is a lovely fall creation.

I think it is a sweet card. How about if you had distressed around the stamped image? Try not to over-think it, sometimes the only way to get over a card you are unsure about is to make another!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jackie. I would ink distress the edge of the white cardstock. I like the Leaf. I was altering the Christmas Wishes card I posted today by using a Sew Easy on the brown cardstock base but did not like the holes so I cut another base and added another layer of a lighter brown. Left the posted image the original way though.

Lots of great features, but I would have put a piece of cardstock behind the white so you couldn't see the lines thru the paper.

Love the leaf card cut!! I think the image is a little light...I probably would have wanted to frame it too. Maybe a chocolate ribbon and matching card stock to mat your image. Lee-Ann :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's gorgeous, Chriss!! I do agree with Georgiana on adding cardstock behind the image so the stripes don't show through...otherwise, it's fabulous!! I love the embossed leaf, and I think it's a unique feature!! Have a wonderful evening my friend!! Hugs :)

Love the leaf on this! The image is fun I also think a little distressing along the edges would go along way. But it looks like a fun card, I don't think I would change it! Carri~Abusybee
ReplyDeleteVery cute! What a fun image...I always think about jumping into leaves like that...but we don't have enough leaves;) I think this is a unique card and with a little paper behind the image to make it pop out it would really add a lot...sometimes it's just that one thing that finishes the card, ya know?! Thanks so much for becoming a new email follower to Every Day is an Occasion! That made my day! I hope you are having a GREAT day too! SMiles, Jill
ReplyDeleteHi Chriss:) Wonderful card and fun image, you added lots of great details and the ribbon below looks great, a card stock behind the white or added some distress around it to make it pop. Don't worry to much about it but if it really bugs you a simple change would do:) TFS and have a great evening!!
