Blue Bliss

Happy Wednesday,

Today's card is a remake, I loved this die cut however I wasn't happy with the produced card so I took it apart and started again!



Click HERE to see the original card, which one do you prefer?  I've got to be honest I now think I prefer the original?!?




I cut the square from the front of the initial card and laid it over a navy blue rectangle leaving a wide stripe in the middle.  Next I cut a few leaves from The spellbinders Foliage die and inked them whilst still in the die.  These were placed under the central panel cut with a circle and the centre section form Spellbinders Adorning squares die ( I told you it was my die de Jour!) I again inked through the die and stamped the sentiment, from indigo blue, in the middle.









I finally added a bowmaker bow in a matching pale blue satin ribbon although this is a complex looking card it is a simple card to put together. 


Enjoy...

    My initial reaction was I preferred the original too but I think it because the first photo of the second version is a little dark and as I scrolled down I liked it better and luvin the bow xx GailT xx

    Hola John

    Hi John,
    Love both cards but if I had to choose I think the first may just edge it.
