A fun, happy card for today's post!
The prize: a big ol' box stuffed with scrapbooking goodies!
Sorry, but due to crazy shipping costs, this challenge is open to the US only!
My previous thoughts:
The inside...
That sentiment from an old Sugarloaf set (part of my first stamp set kit!) goes so well with this fun cuckoo set from Hero Arts.
The card front...
I accidentally mixed some blue with a gold died ribbon, to get this almost puke green seam binding. Didn't want to waste it though, so I stuck it on this card.
I'm so obsessed with this cuckoo set...love those clocks. :)
The fix: the ribbon! Again! Note to self - if you have messed up ribbon, do NOT use it! The only other thing that stands out to me is the lack of color in the main stamped panel. I think I a little bit of coloring in the image, and maybe a brighter pearl would've helped. But, I do give myself a pat on the back for the inside sentiment - I don't do that nearly enough, and it really spices up cards.
Thanks for stopping in today and God bless!

Hey Clare, I would only change the ribbon, it's not that ugly as you describe but maybe add the needed color with a different colored ribbon!!
ReplyDeleteI think the ribbon matches the paper...so I wouldn't change it..I love this card...
