Forced to Embellish

A while back I was commenting on how I had bought all these embellishments, but hadn't used any. Well this is a baby step and I was forced to do it.  Those little flowers in the upper left hand corner are covering up a boo boo.  Stamping 101 -- don't add a sentiment after the card is finished and know when to call it.

Some would not even count this as an embellishment, but you may have noticed, ribbon and Stickles have been my limit.



Gee! Do you suppose I am ready to do a different layout?  You may have also noticed almost all my cards have nearly everything centered.  Sometimes, I do get really wild and tie a bow off to the side. 

Here's the scoop.  Stamp is Stampin Up colored with Copics and pencil. The Sentiment is PTI. Paper is Cosmo Cricket. I used Spellbinders dies and I don't know who belongs to these cute little flowers.

Ha ha! I've done that many times myself! Looks fab though! I don't use that many embellishments on my card either - looks too fussy or not enough - just can't get it right, lol!!
