This card is from my UFO's (unfinished objects) you know the ones, we start them with great gusto and for some reason we are not quite happy with it, so put it aside to look at later...and never quite get there....finally this is finished.
I was a bit limited in what I could do as I started this months ago when I first started cardmaking and a lot has changed since then...like...what I like...so I did my best with it, it's not that I don't like it...it's just not what I would do now...anyway let me know what YOU think!! I added the layers under the heart, EF Distressed branches to give it some texture and depth, I also used that EF for the photo corners, which are done by hand as I don't have a punch - sigh! The EF shows up more IRL. It was actually hard to get a good photo today, although it looks sunny in the background, the sky was solid grey and we were having thunder and lightning...plus downpours of rain - fabulous, but not good for photos!
Thanks for looking, I appreciate your comments, they are always do encouraging!!

Two of my favorites on this one...One I love black/white combo and love polka dots!! Great corners and love the distressed cb folder. How are the puppies? Hugs for the New years!

Linda, I have so many UFO's and this one really encourages me to get on it! I love the distresssed bg, and the depth you got from the CB. The brad placement is great- there is not one thing I would change, this is beautiful!
