Look, I even staged my card. I have been thinking lately about maybe trying to get on a design team-- but thought I better try to get some better pictures of my cards first. Not sure this is a "better" picture but it does bring interest to the photo when you stage it. What do you think?
Card details.
Stamp Sets: It's your birthday and Just Like You
Paper: Old Olive, Rose Red, Taken with Teal, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Whisper White and Bali Breeze dp
Other: markers and mini black faux brads.
The colored casrd stock was distressed by dragging the same color ink pad across the piece. The focal image is colored with markers so that I could have all the colors in the flowers.

ReplyDeleteThis is a terrific card, Mary Jo!! I love the way the colors worked together, the distressing on the CS, the colored flowers -- and the staging is awesome!! It really does make it look a little more "professional". Darn it, now I'm gonna have to start thinking about staging cards ... ;-)
