Stuck, again ... UPDATED!


I almost always get stuck at this point in the card-making process. I see pretty paper, and I see the SU colors in it, and I put them together. Perfect match! Now what?

Actually, this is all SU stuff, so of course it was a perfect match! But I have no idea what to do with it now. I could look at it for a week, but then I thought I'd solicit ideas from all of you! :-)

Please ignore that mangled corner. I tried white rub-ons - failed. I tried folding it up to hid the rub-ons - not too excited about that. I punched a notched corner in the folded part ... See? I need HELP!!! All ideas will be warmly received!





Update: I humbly ask you to a lot of pretending here...pretend there is no extra hole in the top corner...pretend the brads are not retired...and pretend the bottom corner is not still mangled.

Thanks to Paula I got a clue, and I went with her idea! I really like the idea of mixing the patterned papers, and I took her idea of the scallop and substituted two Sale-A-Bration sets in its place. I think when I re-do this I'll use the Teal instead of Turquoise for the scallop.

Thanks for the suggestions! What do you think?

I love what you've done so far. I think that I would cut a square piece of Taken with Teal card stock and place it in the lower right-hand corner to cover the rub-ons and also overlap the Designer Series Paper. I would then try a floral stamp and a sentiment.

Please share your final card. I think you're off to a great start.

I agree- you are off to a good start. I would like to see a bold sentiment stamped along the right hand long side. Or some bold graphic elements along the side of the panel.

Great changes!
