Hello Peeps,
Here is another card with a pre-coloured Doodle Pantry image. This happens to be my all-time favourite DP image because it makes me smile every time I look at it.
The sentiment was included in this set. I like to ink around my die cuts - one of my favourite techniques for making a design look polished.
Originally I made the card without the little strip of ribbon. I photographed it, but then I thought it didn't look done. Here are the before and after shots.
To me it looks so much better. It is amazing what one small detail can do to finish off a design. How about you? Do you ever complete a card (or other craft design) and then feel like it needs just a little something else - kind of like that pinch of salt that makes a meal perfect?
Thanks for visiting my blog. I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day to stop by and your comments gladden my heart.
Hugs & smiles,
Teresa

Wonderful card with such a tewwt image - the strip of ribbon makes it! Hugs, Valerie
Very cute bird image Teresa. Great card. Indeed the ribbon makes the card complete. Sometimes I also look at a card and feel there's something missing.
A little detail can make the difference.
Oh, my! They're beautiful, Teresa! It's such a sweet image, and I love the pretty colours! Very happy cards! :o)
I like both versions of your card and yeah I am the adding salt kind of crafter...in fact I keep adding big spoonfuls of slat all the time!!

Hi Teresa, what a cute card, lovely colouring and inking. The ribbon does add the finishing touch in my opinion. Your card made me smile! Thank you for joining my challenge at Our Creative Corner. Jan x
Birdie is always one of my favorite Doodle Pantry images (along with the Ants) and I love all your die cuts and paper choices. I actually like the card with or without the ribbon. The ribbon does add one more pattern to the mix. :-D
You make such great cards xx
Beautiful design, Teresa! Love the added ribbon! Really pretty papers and edge cuts that you combined with your darling image! :^)
Hugs, Penny
