For TLC209. Oh my, this card is a hot mess. I hate to use the word hate but I think this technique is really interesting...it's just not for me. I tried and tried to think of a way to make it more my style, but I just couldn't. I thought it would be a fun way to do a plaid, or a pattern, or maybe even some fun shapes like a starburst or a heart, but nothing was working over here. At least I tried it, right? I don't like bright colors, I should just avoid them! But that spectrum pad was calling my name! Ok, moving on to the positives...I like the little bird he's cute. I like the little banner with the sentiment. And I really like the silver paper brad thingy from The Craft Barn. The rest of it is just a big yuck! I'm going to go stamp something else to redeem myself!

I hope you will take a second look at your card, Brandi. I think you might decide that you are pleased with it after all. That happens to me a lot. I think it's a great card. The striped layer you made looks beautiful and really compliments the rest of the card.

This is beautiful!!! Love your color combo and the texture of this card (and the little birdie and brad are cute too!). If this is what you call a big yuck, I can only imagine how amazing the cards are that you like! TFS!!!!!

Oh Brandi... you are way too hard on yourself!!! I love this card... the image is adorable and the brad and banner are awesome... but that pretty pink embossed hearts layer is very pretty and I love the technique layer as well! Ya know... my first thought was to try to make even stripes and then reverse them to make a plaid... but quickly realized I'd best just do a random and hope for the best! Those of us who like things neat and orderly perhaps struggle more than others with this... but I really think if you step back tonight and take another look tomorrow... you're gonna love this! It's cute! Hugs... you need one tonight!
