That would be this card for me! I wanted to make something to enter the latest Make It Mondays challenge--to use a vellum sentiment strip. I had the idea to have several strips of vellum laying diagonally across the card. So far, so good.
I heat embossed "Get Well Soon" onto the lowest of the three strips. I stamped the background dots. I cut the bottom part of the three layers of cs with Edgers #1. Sewed the bit together. Still okay.
Then I added a ribbon diagonally, thinking it would draw the eye. Don't like it.
And then I die cut and stamped the butterflies and positioned and repositioned them about 14 times. Don't like them. I couldn't get them in the right place, and I feel they are too big also. The last step was to color some gems with a Copic marker and add them to the card.
Oh well, it's a learning experience, I guess! This card uses the latest WPlus9 color challenge . (Kraft, Lilac, Turquoise and White).
Thanks for stopping by!

Well I think this is beautiful and i do like the lavender and the HS .... And the edger dies and sewing really give it that extra
Melissa you make me laugh with your creative process commentary! You sound like me! LOL!
Well I for one DO like this! It's a really different kinda layout (different as in good btw!) and a great use of those edger dies!
