Key to my Heart
Help! This card needs something but I'm not sure what.
My new CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge arrived today, so I immediately had to play. It's going to make those fun round cards so much easier.
After coloring my lock and key, I sponged them with a VersaMark ink and sprinkled brass embossing powder over them. I didn't want to cover the entire area.
I tissue stamped the heart and then covered it with clear embossing powder so it would shine brighter than the lock and key. I also touched the edges with Pear ink...not really sure why.
Lots of sanding on this to dull down the colors against the brass. I also touched up the edges of my ribbon with a Pear marker because the green was more on the blue side.
And after all that, I still think it needs help.
However, that won't keep me from entering it in the following challenges:
Mojo Monday 206
Heart 2 Heart Color Challenge: Sorbet, Pear and Cocoa
If you have any ideas (or if you think I'm being too critical of my own work), leave me a comment. I could sure use the help.
Until next time,
Becca
Too critical - I think it looks great!

I think it's cute! I especially love everything on the scalloped area...I think it could totally work as a stand alone card! Great job! You are always such an inspiration. :)
