Today brings the release of three new sentiment sets at Cornish Heritage Farms, Birthday Centers, Friend Centers and Motivational Centers, all from the Mona Lisa Moments Collection . I’ve used Motivational Centers here.
Go Confidently
I wanted to keep this card fairly simple but I ended up doing more to it than I had intended. After stamping the green images (from Silhouette Blooms I, CHF) and the sentiment, I added the wonky stitching. But the card still looked too plain to me. So I sponged the edges. Hmmm… still not quite right so I distressed the edges.
Then I thought the card still needed some other element…a flower maybe? I consider myself to be totally Prima-challenged, so the thought even entering my brain was a little unsettling. 🙂 I love how other people use flowers but when I add one to a card, I always think it looks stupid. And I’m still not so sure about this one. What do you think? I didn’t have the right color flower so I sponged this one with Oregano Adirondack ink to match the green images. Hmmm…I don’t know. Anyway, I love the flowers and the sentiment!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
