Well...here is my story.
I made this card for a friend who is both flamboyant in dress and personality. Everything is over-the-top when it comes to her, and I LOVE her for it!
I made this crazy bow, and I am sure she will like it, but it is just not me! Even my son said, "What's up with that bow, Mom?"
I almost didn't upload it, but I fussed with that darn bow enough, what the heck!
I also am thinking I should not have used striped paper with this layout, because it all kind of blends together.
Oh well, it is what it is!!
Thanks for looking at my crazy Christmas bow card.

I LOVE it!!! And it's definitely not over the top -- it's a perfect fit for the card. In fact, it's really well balanced and put together really well. Your friend is blessed to have you!

You have such an elegant style! Love how you used stripes and how you've used them so well, like the striped card from the other day, which just happens to be in my faves! There's something really striking about this card. Fabulous lines; great card.
