WT237 - I Forced Myself

Photo Details

Poster: BobbiesGirl

Yikes! Here is today's 9/24/09 card for the Ways to use it challenge, which was to make a card that is outside your comfort zone.

My cards are usually Vintage or Collage, so I decided to go with a Clean and Simple card. This is so far outside the box for me that I almost didn't upload, but I forced myself. I have to admit, I kinda like it. Maybe it's because I have looked at it so many times that I have gotten used to it. LOL tfl

Nice job stepping out of your comfort zone. I like this card; simple, yet striking. Love the dimension with the assorted bling you used.
