Anyways, I saw this card and knew right away that it would be perfect for my SIL. Unfortunately, I waited until the last minute to make it (story of my life?) and knew I wouldn't have time to stamp the background and so I used the yellow doily patterned paper (Basic Gray) instead. Once it all came together, I wasn't lovin' it so much. I think what I really liked about the original card was the pop from the modern geometric design. Or maybe it's the cool pinks on the mustard-y yellow? I don't know. I'm definitely going to try this one again with the hexagonal background and some different colours. I'll keep ya posted :)
Are you C-R-A-Z-Y!!!? No offence to the person that made the card of inspiration, but I like your card 10x better! I love the button and the little pearl accents. I also like the patterned paper that you chose - it is more subdued and calming than the original... I think that works better with the pretty flowers (rather than that bold geometric design). Your card is amaze-balls. You are too critical of yourself. The next card you post, I only want you say good things. Find the positive in the card and share it with the world! :)
ReplyDeleteYOU are the crazy one.!! The other card is so obviously way awesomer...silly Marnie. LOL! Still, you are so great! Thank you for your kind words. You're the best! And I will take on your challenge and make an "Awesome Only" post next time :) Now, to make an epically amazing card...... Ha!!
ReplyDeleteLove your card Angela - all the details, like the button and twine just give it the extra special touch!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michelle! I didn't love this one...I think it just wasn't my style but, apparently, it's good to stretch ourselves out of our comfort zones sometimes! :)
