Stinker #1


Ok, to be fair, this one isn't really a *stinker* stinker. Well, not to me, anyway. I'm just not that thrilled with it. But I wanted to ease you guys into this "bad card" thing. Didn't wanna put up a visual horror and send your senses into shock! I know some of you read this first thing in the morning. It's just not balanced to me. The sentiment should be mounted or bigger or better, something. I dunno. And I just really wanted to use that big Verve image that goes across the card, but wasn't sure what to do with it. I thought it deserved silver and then I used silver cardstock to mat it on. Ugh. See, I just don't even know what to say about a card I'm not crazy about. I've gotta keep this short anyway. I'm just about done with my Christmas tins (waiting on Christmas kisses to come out!) and I'm in the middle of a new project. Yeah, I'm just a little insane. I'm working on the Christmas gifts for the extended family and it all just sorta came together today. Yippee! Now, gotta get my sticker paper, stickles(!) and lots of ribbon...

Definitely NOT a stinker. You are much too hard on yourself. To me, this looks like a silvery lacy fence one could leap over to grab that Magical Day. Always something to hope for!

I think it is beautiful. It is always nice to have a beautiful wedding card.
