If you ask me, one can never have enough "Happy Birthday" and "Thank You" cards so I decided it was time to add to my collection of "Thank You" ones the other day.
I based the card on a Becky Fleck card sketch from March of 2011. I love how it turned out for the most part. I really should have inked the edges of the patterned paper I used on the background to make it pop more against the cardstock base. Oh well ... Note to self: Lay the paper on the cardstock BEFORE adhering it next time to see if inking is needed.
This shot shows you the tiny bits of bling a little bit better on the card. I had originally put an opaque on every second piece of 'lace' that jutted out BUT there were an odd number of pieces jutting out so there were two spaces left and it looked silly. Another "Note to self" moment! Argh!
