I decided to do a different Monday challenge today, and TechnoStamper had a wonderful one! But oh, how I struggled with it. I had an idea in mind, and I finished it, but I don't see me sending it out unless I am desperate! No photos of that one--ick! So I regrouped. After seeing Kelly's beautiful Sage Shadow & Basic Gray card here, I thought I would try one of my own! I am still not sure of this one either....the bow wouldn't lay right, and it has a little bit too much white space, even for me:
But I was getting tired, frustrated & cranky (I sound like a two-year-old!), so I just let it go....maybe tomorrow my creativity will return! I hate spending so much time and all for naught. Perhaps I will try this one again and stamp the flourish lightly over the sentiment.

Way to go on the new challenges. I love all the ribbons you used for the bow, it looks fabulous! I like the card, you are too hard on yourself. Hey, a stamper I dmire told me that last week....
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous!! I love the ribbon treatment!!
ReplyDeleteGreat color combo! I love the ribbon too, looks great. I think your card turned out great! Thanks so much for playing along.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love the color scheme too! Absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou did GREAT with technostamper's challenge. Love those soft and pretty colors
ReplyDelete...I know what you mean though. On Friday it took me ALL day to make some stuff that should have only taken a couple hours at the most. Today went much better...three cards in three hours. Those kinda days hit all of us.
I find this card lovely. I cannot see where there is too much white.
ReplyDeleteThe stamp set is perfect! I like the ribbon layering too.

Lovely card! Very well done--esp. with the overstamping & touches of ribbon.

Beautiful.. I think this is my favorite of them all!! I love the two tones on the pocket sil. images!!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how we sometimes don't like our finished products. I really like this one, the colours and the white space as well as your choice of stamps.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty.
Oh my stars, I LOVE this! How elegant those colors are... wouldn't that be beautiful wedding colors? Love the white panel, too! I see no struggle here, just a fabulous card!
