I had a few frustrations with my printer ink on this card. For some reason the ink is flaking off the paper. Has anyone had this problem? I am using the Laserjet. I have only had this problem one other time.
Also you can't tell by the picture, but the jewel on top of the cake is a heart jewel that perfectly fits the heart image.
The stick pin was saved from something I received last year for Valentine's Day. I thought it went with the paper but again it hardly shows in the picture. It stands out better when you see it face to face. So I took a close up shot of the stick pin! Cute...huh!
When I first finished the card it looked like this.
I thought it would look better with some added stitching around the circle. So I tore it apart and tried to do Arlana's sewing technique. Well, it's not as easy as she makes it look! But I do think it is what the card needed. I'll have to do some more practicing! Practice does make perfect!

Yep! The stitching really added punch to the card - love it!! The cake looks so yummy, I love the texture you added to it. And see... some people think it's a bad thing to hoard little trinkets, but you saving that pin and using it on your card was the perfect touch.
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful! The lace is so pretty. I love that flower & stick pin embellishment, too! :)
ReplyDeleteJudi, Arlana was telling me that you didn't like how this card turned out. Well, I think is is just adorable!!! I love how you did the cake. (with the dotted embossing card) that just make the cake. Your colors, paper and emblishments are so cute too!

ReplyDeleteHi Judi, what a pretty card-these are a perfect match and so eye appealing. You know, I like the card without the stitching but you are right, the stitching definitely makes it ZING! Wow, what a difference, huh? I will have to try my hand at stitching. ;P
