Go Green

Hi!

Do you ever create something and think that just didn't turn out at all how I envisioned it. Well that is what I am sharing with you today. I have read where people delete post or throwing out their "uglies" etc. Not me, and well, that is a crime and a waste of paper and this is after all is a "go green" post...ha. Seriously, I am all about the good and the ugly. I show the pretty and the not so pretty too. I hope we all accept we are all human. This may not have been my favorite card I have made, but I know someone will appreciate it because I have made it for them. It so did not turn out like I wanted or come together like I thought, but oh well...it's only paper and like I said someone will appreciate being thought of.

I started the card with a Kraft card base and framing with a layer of cream card stock and toped with a distressed green polk a dot patterned paper. I adorned an off-white crochet trim across the card front. I then wrapped a length of silk ribbon, vertically, around the left half of the card front and embellished it with a green button. 

My focal images were then stamped on the die cuts and then adhered to the card face and now ready for mailing for hopefully a smile on a relative's face. Added to note they are not blurred just looks that way in the picture because of the patterned paper choices which thought would look cool with the matching stamps. Ha! See vision in head does not always match on paper. {smile} However, it does look better in person. 

I am going to go ahead and join in at DYSU - Go Green (Although I don't think this card stacks up...ha)

I hope you have a great weekend!
