Try Stampin on Tuesday #115

Hi there

I'll be honest with you - I struggled with this weeks sketch until I turned it 90 degrees.


My first attempt was the above orientation but I wasn't happy with the finished card - it just didn't do anything for me.  I sat and looked at it trying to figure out how I could make it better - I even added some Dazzling Diamonds but that made it worse!  So I started again looking at the sketch and thinking what stamp set could I use.  No light bulb came on so I checked Google for some inspiration and saw something that was a similar layout out but turned 90 degrees.  When I turned the sketch the light bulb came on and so I got creating and this is my finished card.

What do you think?  What a difference turning 90 degrees can make.

Supplies:

Stamp - Summer Silhouettes and Blooming with Kindness

Card Stock - Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant, Lucky Limeade and Whisper White

Ink - Lucky Limeade and Elegant Eggplant

Other - Honeycomb Embossing Folder, Wisteria Wonder Designer Printed Brads

The only bit from the original card that I kept was the greeting which I used on the inside of the card:

Thanks for looking
