This card is a bit more ornate than I usually do, and I'm a bit nervous about it. I usually do more plain and tailored type cards, but I need to break loose! This is a large card - it measures 6.50 x 6.50 inches. I love the paper and colors, but I think I may have gone a bit overboard with the embellishments. What ya think? ANYHOW, it was for a challenge over at Just Manolia, following the above layout. I love the cards the ladies do over there. Since I am doing Autumn cards I wanted to keep on that track, and I can send it as a Thanksgiving card. Paper is from "Me & My Big Ideas"pack, cut oval with SCAL and added all the goodies from my stash.
This card turned out perfectly! I love all the fall embellishments! I'm like you and feel more comfortable with the plain and simple cards! The image is adorable. Great job on the sketch.

Mahalo ladies! The encouragement means so much, it helps strive for more experiments with new styles. I love the "full" look of so many cards, but I have a hard time creating them. They always end up looking too over done. Hugs to all!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, love the colours & i don't think you can ever have too many embelishments.
