The distress technique, learned from Wendy Veach from Stampers Anonymous 490, was nice with the additional pop of the color from the ribbon, but from second glance, it appears to be too plain.
I know I have this problem all the time, which is why I don't post as much as I like - and knowing that I am my own worst critic, I couldn't bring myself to post this card until I improve the color, or background, or the over all appearance of the card.
Happy to say I did just that!! After taking a second look at the card - which I had intended to send my mother for mother's day, I KNEW I could do better!
So my second card was that much better!
The second card is attached to acetate, because I couldn't decide what to put it on AND I didn't want to take away from the stamped background of the the card.
Happily I will send this card to MOM for mother's day - and although she'll say "you didn't have to do that," I know she will be proud to have received such a well thought out card!!
I hope everyone's been thinking of the card they want to send their MOM for Mother's Day, and I hope all of your cards are as well received as they want them to be!
Stay inspired and keep creating!
