My Project
I will be honest, I am still not convinced that I really like my card design. However, I have chosen not to remake it (and save valuable supplies). The biggest problem I have with my card is the hard edge I used on the lace paper doily. While I am not sure about the hard edge, I could not find anything that I really liked to cover it or enhance it.
to create the card, I simply used a white card stock for the base, and then layered it with a light pink color. I added the wonder crackle paper by cutting a strip and trimming the bottom edge to create the flag. I used a pink ink to highlight the edges to help it pop up off of the pink card stock. I then layers the flag with a Wilton paper lace doily, which I trimmed in half. I embellished it with some tiny pink flowers with yellow pearls for the centers. I had some bigger ones in mind, but I did not want to distract from the beauty of Daisy's wonderful paper. I further embellished the the paper doily with some pink diamond gems. I completed the card with a small Thank You sentiment between the points of the flag.
Daisy has so many wonderful papers in her store. Please take the time to visit and pick out your favorites. I know you won't be disappointed.

i see what you mean about the hard edge, but it does look great. We are always harder on ourselves than on others or than others are on us. Thanks for sharing

ReplyDeleteI love your card and I know what you mean about the hard edge - I guess the only thing you could have done was add some kind of lace or trim there to soften it but I think it turned out nice. I love your banner shape. TFS
