SC177 Embrace Blah

Photo Details

Poster: stephanie.hargis

This card is...blah. I don't like all of the ivory on it but it's too late to fix it! Oh well. I liked the idea of using the little flowers with brads so I tried my own version! Thanks for looking!

I agree with the others...this is beautiful. The ivory makes the red paper and flowers pop. I really like the flowers too. TFS!

Yes, you've been outvoted... this is anything but BLAH. I think the ivory goes well with the red and black, gives it the sophisticated look that the elements bring to the card. Love the flowers with brads, great idea. Also just love the simplicy and boldness of this card. Remember you are always your own worst critic, we love it!!!

Love the simplicity of your card and the way the ivory really makes the black and red stand out! Love the popped flowers with brads!

Very nice card. Not blah at all! Love the crispness of the red against the vanilla, and the black accents are great.

I would have to agree with the other ladies ... it looks FABULOUS! Very elegant and rich! I'm not a fan of a lot of white space either, but it works here! GREAT job!
