 | | In the VSN26 Challenge "Improving Your Performance" we were to find a previously made card in our Gallery to improve. I chose one made recently as an experiment that I realized had too many conflicting lines in it. There was also not enough contrast. Not sure this is much better, but it'll have to do.
In this card, I made the background swirls a bit darker and added a tree in the foreground, off to the side. It was die cut from shimmery paper, hopefully to have it stand out more. The snowflakes took the place of the birds in the earlier card. It still feels busy to me, but I'll try again another day!
Here is the earlier card:CT0126 DDSKETCH0126 Wonderland Gathering by MDO Susan at Splitcoaststampers
