a simple card...

Hey there!  Have you ever created a card that when you were done you just weren't really very happy with how it turned out?  Well... this card is just that kind of card.  Overall there isn't any thing really wrong with it, but I'm just not super happy.   Maybe it is just too plain...  Anyway I used the color combo from Color Throwdown, the layout from Freshly Made Sketches and the new Spellbinders/Becca Feeken Nested Clipped Squares.   After initially diecutting the squares I was going to use I decided that they were just way too plain looking so I die cut frames for the two larger squares.   I wasn't able to do that for the smallest square and I think that is part of the problem.  It just looks a little out of place without a frame.  The sentiment was hot foiled using my Glimmer and black foil.  I really like how it actually looks like stamping.   I adhered the purple square to my white cardstock panel and then adhered the blue one on top.  The yellow one was adhered with foam dimensionals.  I then adhered the frames to the squares so that they look like they are interlocking.  The sentiment was foiled, die cut and then adhered.  Still looked too plain so I die cut a small square from the dark blue cardstock and adhered it to the center of the large blue square.  Looked a little better, but still not happy.   But... I made it so I need to own it and just go with it!   Just wanted to mention that Spellbinders is having a deal going on right now.   Just click on the banner in my side bar to go to the Spellbinders website.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
