So...all entered now? OK on to today's post a fabulous card by Tina!
Have ya ever seen something and just simply fell head over heels? Well, when I saw this layout on one of those free idea sheets at a big box store, I knew I just HAD to give it a whirl! I've never done a monotone type card before, but I have done and seriously lurves me some little panels and color blocking. I had to change it up a bit and add my own little flair...you know me ;)
Of course I couldn't resist pulling out my much loved "go to" set of stamps for this one. I loved "coloring" in all those little panels with the same color I was stamping with...what a great effect. Why haven't I done this before??? The original used the same stamp for all the panels...can someone say boring? Also the main sentiment/focal point panel was straight and theirs was just a picture, not sentiment...again, boring. I also added that jaunty little bow....you all know how much I puffy heart me some ribbon! I love how it turned out but am open for your suggestions on how to change it up even more....
Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think....good or bad....or even better - what would you have done differently??...crafty minds wanna know!
So pretty! I love all the pastels. :)

Great design. One that I will use. I like the frames, the wide stripe and the tippy frame. Simply pretty!
