Dilemma . . . Ornament Card.

Well I am at a point where I am not sure what I should do... I had started with an look for the outside of the card, and an idea of what I wanted on the inside.... Now after looking at it.. I almost think they need to be two different cards or I need to change something .... What a dilemma :)

Here is the picture of the front of my card (sorry for any shadows)....

Here is what I did on the inside:

I love both of them separately, however, I am not sure if they work together... The cover is shimmery, embossed, colored with Copic markers, and has added liquid pearls.... the inside is traditional...Stamped and Copic Markers....

Any Suggestions....??

Fall Cards:

I took a class a month or so back from K & Krafts, located in the Moorhead Center Mall, We used Heartfelt Creations Stamps and Dies.  We made a beautiful fall card.. So beautiful in fact, there is no way I could ever be able to send it to someone.



After class I was so excited about what we had just made, that I purchased the background and leaf stamps along with the die cuts.  I just could not let go of all the fun I had in the class.  From blending Tim Holtz distress inks to adding some Tattered Angles Glam for that added sparkle. I was going to make some of these cards for my family. 

Here are my creations... It is funny how you can be using everything the same as the first, but not a single card looks totally alike... I also played around with some sentiments as well. Enjoy :)

I am thankful - "Autumn Harvest" Challenge

Both of these cards are using the KOM for Oct 2011 theme, but I have used different stamps and paper.  I used the "Time is Now" stamp set from Unity Stamps for the Tree and Sentiment.  I used mixed paper from the "Autumn Splendor" paper from We R Memory Keepers.  I used the Oval and Banner Spellbinders to cut out and emboss the embellishments.

Here is my Favorite:


Here is the other one...
