Well I've been on "vacation" from stamping and making cards, since my Mojo decided to just pick up and leave me for the last 2 weeks! I had a difficult time with this card, even though I had fun doing it (I know it's an oxymoron
The part that kept getting me was that I felt the brown CS was too strong of a contrast, but no other paper I tried looked as good...So I have complex and varied feelings about this card. The main one being, now that it's complete I'm REALLY excited to make another card - YEAY! So maybe Mr. Mojo is back!
I did have a hard time (in a good way) deciding what papers to use on PI clothes, I have alot of patterns and embellishments going on and wanted everything to match exactly (thank my Mom for teaching me that! - LOL). And I feel I should add some bling to it all. I'm not one to add bling, so that was a personal challenge to myself. I hope it doesn't look too out of place on the card.
I have to say that I was reticent about buying the PI stamp, thinking I probably wouldn't do it enough justice and make them look as great as everyone elses, here on SCS. But I am so HAPPY I bought it, I just love it! Simple and pretty, two things I love
