Inkredible Stamping

I love the owl in the Just Celebrate set. I created this card today to send to my secret sister (hope she’s not reading the blog – but if you are – Hi Sis!!!!!) I though this would be cheerful – and it shows off the Dyed Ribbon Slides again – this time it’s dyed Groovy Guava to match the card stock. Here’s the card…

And I though today I would give you a look inside my creative process. I know you all love to tease me that I never make mistakes and everything turns out perfect the first time out – No matter how much I protest you guys just won’t believe me 🙂 … So here’s so proof that it even takes me a few tires to get something to look the way I want. The first idea for this card started with my swap for our last meeting. I liked the way the card came out .. the colors are fun

It just seems a little empty to me … so when I got home I tried changing things up a little and put a knot in the ribbon and moved the owl up.

Still didn’t seem just right to me, so I changed the ribbon, added the ribbon slide, and LOVE the final product. Each of the versions of the card is good, and I would be happy to get or send any of them .. but it just took me a few tries to come up with the one I really liked best. Hope you enjoyed a look at my creative process – and remember you guys CAN do it!! Just jump in and make a card …. if it doesn’t work out just right for you – try something a little different on your next one 🙂

Happy Stampin’
