I found some old Stampin Up! paper that had a good match to the purple ink on the card and thats when I knew I could finish it! In the background on the purple (might be hard to tell in the photo) I did a little shimmer misting with the hexagon stencil. Just needed a little touch to not be so bland but I didn't want to take away from all the detail on the front portion. For the front part I added embossing paste over top the inked paper, added the sentiment then the ribbon…and today after weeks of just sitting there I decided I didn't hate it anymore!!
I guess it was good I decided to keep this one laying around instead of just tossing it like I do with so many other cards that I think don't work!!
Hope you all have a great Friday! Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteThat is a good lesson not to throw our "flubs" away until after we've put them aside for a bit! Thanks for the reminder, Chera! I can't believe you ever hated this, though. I think the coloring is super and your final design is brilliant!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteOh I love it! Love that you did it throw it away and were able to reuse, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI tend to throw aside my flubs in hope that I can salvage them, and you did a fabulous job with your card!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous is the word for this awesomeness!!
