Here is another card which was so much better in my head, although I do like some elements of it.
It’s another of the Lovely as a Tree images I coloured using Popping Pastels (click here for technique). I really like the way it goes with the patterned paper from the Brocade Background set.
But somehow I think the proportions are not quite right. The card is sized to fit in a standard DL (office) envelope – a nice shape but I seem to have an area of nothingness on the left. All ideas welcomed!

Very pretty card! I really need to grab that set before they retire it.
ReplyDeleteI think it is just beautiful the way it is. Great!!
ReplyDeleteI like it!! I think this is a good "less is more" kind of card -- and the patterned paper detracts from the "area of nothingness".
ReplyDeleteI suppose you could do some dry embossing (w/ stylus and brass template), or use a corner punch to liven up the corners. That may work. Or add another bit of matching ribbon on that side. Just random tohoughts, though!
Wow! Gorgeous card!
