Mary's Card Rehab #1

Mary's Card Rehab #1



Hi Everyone,
Welcome to my very first "Card Rehab". This is something I've been wanting to do for awhile now. When I host my weekly stamping classes, I try and help my stamping friends learn about some basic art perspective techniques to help their projects be eye catching. Today, I'm taking a card that I made years ago that has just a couple of things that could make it just perfect. 


When I look at this card, I see a couple of things I want to change to help our eyes have a focal point. If you look at the tag and then the flower, our eyes have a hard time where to focus. Is it the flower or the tag? Because the flower and tag are a bit away from each other, we can't focus. One other thing that could lift up this card is the tag. Actually you can see it well in this photo, but when you see the card, the greeting is difficult to read on the dark tag. 


For my rehab, I decided to use the Daisy Lane Bundle. I also tried to keep to the color scheme of the original card. One thing I decided was to use a Whisper White Thick Cardstock base. That way, when I used the Story Label Punch with Whisper White, it tied in. As you can see by putting the daisies close with the label, our eyes can focus right to the greeting.


I hope you liked my "card rehab" today. Let me know what you think. I'd like to know if this was helpful.
