I saw the tutorial for this card today on Split Coast Stampers and remembered that I had one half made in my That's Amore paper packet and decided to get it out and finish it. I love this paper, but when I use it I am disappointed. Maybe it is just because a lot of cards that I see that I really admire have so much on them and I do not have that gift. I always err on the side of less is more. Anyway, here is my attempt. I saw the idea of putting the little angels from Angel Sent in the Annotations label and thought that was so clever. I used my colored pencils to fill them in.
Can you tell I am not happy with my card? Not enough not to post it though.
Thanks for tuning in.
Oh Leslie I think it turned out nice. I am also very fond of this paper but never seem to accomplish what I see in my head to translate on a card or layout.
ReplyDeleteOK, girlie. You need a pep talk. What's wrong with your card? Nothing. It's beautiful. Great use of the Annotations labels, and those little angels are darling. The papers and colors are balanced into a pleasing design. As far as I'm concerned, your addition of "stuff" is just right - not too much, not too little. You're being too hard on yourself! I do know how you feel though. I'm not the greatest when it comes to using embellishments. Ribbon and brads. I've got them down. The rest? Not so much. I just collect it! LOL. Truly Lesley, your card is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThis is very pretty Leslie!! Love the angels in the annotations tags!! Don't be so hard on yourself!!
ReplyDeleteWhat are you talking about? It's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteOMG Leslie why would you not be happy!!! I would be ecstatic with this card it is amazing!!! Less is More, but there is no LESS in this card. Well balanced eye candy is what I am seeing.
