Do you ever get in a creative slump?? I sure have my moments. I had several ideas floating around for a birthday card, and when I tried doing what I thought was the "coolest" idea, it was just NOT working. So I scratched it, and came up with something very different. Does that ever happen to you? More often than not, I sketch out an idea and then my card comes out totally different than my original plan! LOL
So here's what my end result is....

ReplyDeleteCool card.
ReplyDeleteSometimes we get the best results when things go awry! I can easily see myself using your ideas for masculine birthday cards, perhaps replacing the ribbon and button for a 'bow tie'...or workman's 'belt'...or pretty much anything. Love the central pop of color, too!
ReplyDeletecool card. :)
