I have a new card to share with you today. If I'm entirely truthful, I started this card with the best of intentions and then after deciding on the card base and the tab sticker, didn't know where I was going with it and set it aside...for a few months. Oops.
But determined as ever to catch myself up on back-logged cards, I dug it out and finished it nonetheless!
The approach I finally decided on to finish it? Very simple: just keep adding and layering! Sounds silly, I know but I really enjoyed putting together this hodge podge of emphemera - banner, washi tape, View Master slide reel, mustache sticker, brads, die-cuts, chipboard, staple, letter sticker accents - just go crazy and pile it all on!
Here's a little close-up of the layering. And you know, that October Afternoon bear brad in the top right corner up there? I never really liked it when I first saw it and now, I think it's pretty awesome. Go figure.
With all the layering on the right side, there was a heavy lack of balance on the left side so I filled up the space with some repeated date stamping.
So the next time you find yourself stuck with what to do for a card, why not try the just add and layer until you can't anymore approach?! It just might work for you, too.
