Well, here is a second card that I made for the featured stamper challenge featuring Shelly (papermoon04). Shelly always has the most encouraging things to say and she makes the most beautiful cards. She is a huge inspiration to me, she makes me challenge myself to do better! Thanks you Shelly!
I loved the layout, the cuttlebugged bg, the sponging, and the stamps that she used, so I wanted to keep those elements.
Things I changed:
1. colors- I used basic grey periphery, certainly celery and basic gray cs. This didn't photograph well, and the colors don't look very good, but the green is really bright and contrasts well with the gray.
2. used textile embossing folder
3. ribbon- I used white sheer organza, gray paper ribbon, and certainly celery (IRL the gray ribbon is a perfect match for the basic gray cs.)
4. flowers- I used flowers instead of snowflakes and I used less flowers, they match perfect IRL too!
5. sentiment- I used a differen sentiment for the bottom right corner and I used different punches for it.
6. brads- I used different brads in the flowers and I added some more.
This looks so much better IRL, it really pops and the colors match perfectly! I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

What a beautiful job. I love the fancy ribbon, the flowers and the smudging (don't know if this is a word) but you probably know what I mean. Very nice.
