I did think the spiral punch from Stampin Up worked especially for the type of card I made it for. I used the sketch from WOJ challenge.
You might wonder why if I don't like it do I blog it but I think I should show my warts and all and there are aspects of it I like.
I do have one card almost ready that I like, just need the stickles to dry.
Don't sell yourself short Debby, I actually like this card. It all works well together. TFS, hugs Dee xx
ReplyDeleteOh Debby - you sound just like me, make a card then sit there pulling it to pieces!! If I didn't show my warts I hardly show any cards at all, don't think I've made a perfect card yet lol!!
ReplyDeleteHaving said that I like it, love the bright colours, I can't do brights but I so admire people who can. Love the image and great sentiment.
hugs Heather xx
awww Debby, I think its beautiful! Love the image that you have used and the colours work well together :)
ReplyDelete*hugs* Heather x

Hi Debby,
ReplyDeleteI like this card. It's not your usual mix of colours and it doesn't have a "Debby" feel to it but that doesn't make it a bad card. It's horrible when you feel a card just isn't right (I should know, I have the feeling frequently) but I think your being a bit harsh on yourself here.
Hugs,
Fiona x
Debby, I think you are being a little harsh on yourself hun - your work is always gorgeous - but you are a bit like me, you just know when you are not happy with something and you blame it on your mojo - but this card is lovely and I'm glad you showed it. Hugs, Claire x
ReplyDeletewell i love this card.the image is great and i love the colours and papers.its gorgeous.
ReplyDeletexx coops xx

ReplyDeleteHugs Sonia xx
I think it's a fab card Debby! The image is perfect for a new job card and the colours are gorgeous :)

I think this card is great Debby the image is great and I agree the border punch looks great. As for the papers once you find the right image/photo I bet you'll love them. :-) xx
ReplyDeleteI really like this card, Debby! Maybe it will grow on you!
ReplyDeleteHiya Debby
ReplyDeletethis is lovely hun, I think sometimes we all make cards we arent keen on, maybe the papers will grow on you

Hi Debby, maybe the papers are to harsh for the image, but then she is a supposed to be a working girl and you couldnt find anything more harsher. Anyway shes fabulous and youve coloured her beautifully. With love and hugs Shirleyxxxx
ReplyDeleteDebby, I don't think you realise but your card is gorgeous the colours are so vivid and match really well.
ReplyDeleteYour mojo hasn't gone its working in different way its just getting you out of the comfort zone and letting your artistic side come forth. Lots of Love Jo. xxx
Hi,

Hi Debby
ReplyDeleteYou know, I sat and looked at your card for a while after reading your comments and seriously, I love it! Really can't see anything wrong with it or anything I don't like, but then we are always our own worst critics aren't we.
Have a great day!
Oh Debby - I don't think he's gone anywhere!! But if he does could you send him my way???
ReplyDeleteSharon x
WOW, this is sooo lovely!
ReplyDeleteHugs Trudy
Debby your card is `Beautiful..
ReplyDeleteI love the stamp and pretty colours ,dosent look like the mojo has gone anywhere Your creations are `Gorgeous`:)TFS
Have a fab week:)x
Well, I don't like more of mine than I do like and still show it, so there you go!! ha ha!
ReplyDeletePersonally I think your card is fabulous with that fabulous Debby style!!!!
Hugs, Dena
You sound as bad as I do when I look at some of my cards. We truly are our own worst critics. You did a fabulous, fantastic, awesome job! It all goes together beautifully. I stopped by to actually make a comment on another card, but saw this one and your message, and I had to comment.
ReplyDeleteI can tell your cards and projects because you do such an awesome job at shadowing. I'm getting a little better, but I'm nowhere near your league.
I can't remember the date or name of the card I came to comment about, but it was a young cowboy with frogs everywhere. I also really like "In the Garden", "Summer Fruit", and "Delovely Aashi". The boy's red vest and shirt look so realistic with the darker shading on the left. How do you get that effect? Another thing, I think I just notices, do you have more than one layer of images?
Anyway, however you do it, you are fantastic.
TFS,
Debra (dj1952)

ReplyDeleteHi Debby - you really shouldn't call this a wart, I think its gorgeous - I love the colours, and your colouring and layering of the image is awesome as ever!

ReplyDeletelove teen x

ReplyDeleteHugs Di xxxx
Your coloring skills are amazing. I wish I could do that. You are very talented:)
ReplyDeleteHi Debby,
ReplyDeleteThis has a different feel to your usual cards but I love it...You make such amazing cards and give us all such inspiration...I'm as bad as you, my own worst critic and I must admit many times I've put a card in the bin and Katy or Hubby have said it's great, post it,what would I do without them...Have no cards on my blog..lol...
Mandy xx
I think everyone of us makes cards they don't like but to tell you the truth, I realy like this card Debby! Nice papers, lovely stamp and super details!
ReplyDeletexoxo Anita
You must be looking at a different card to the one I am looking at LOL!
ReplyDeleteLook at it with fresh eyes in another few days and it will look tons better LOL! I have just made a card that is too "busy" for me and not my usual style and hated it - left it a few days before looking at it again and you know what... i quite like it now LOL!
SArah x
aww Debby I think you card is beautiful and the bright colours look fabby hugs Jill xx
ReplyDeleteGosh Debby, I think you've been told!! Are you listening to everyone? LOL!! I love your card too. Maybe you're hard on yourself because it's little bit different from your usual style and colours? I actually love the brights, and I think you've tied all the elements together beautifully. Your tradmark 3D layering is wonderful as usual.
ReplyDeletewow, so cute and fresh and inspiring...fantastic details!
ReplyDeletexoxo silvi (germany)
Debby this card is in no way a "wart"...don't be so hard on yourself, hun, it is absolutely gorgeous, hun! I love the fun, cherry colours in the Olivia papers! All the details go perfectly together and, of course, Willow looks smashing for her new job! Brilliant colouring and I always love your 3D images! Great sentiment too!
ReplyDeleteLove it to bits,hun!
Thanks so much for joining us at the WOJ Challenge!
I think we all have a 'not sure if I like this one' card - it's always said that we crafters are our own worst critics. I think it's a fab card, it look like you put a lot of work into it (as all your cards do).x
ReplyDeleteI just went through your blog, and i really liked this one (well, i luv them all but) cuz i never thought of making a card with "new job, good luck", with such an appropriate image & design you came up with!! Very nice card!
ReplyDeleteEh!This is a fantastic card,I can't see anything wrong with it.Elisa.X
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie!! How are you?? This card is adorable, beautifully colored and with a lovely color combo.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at WOJ challenge.
