Here's yesterday's card jazzed up just a bit. And yes, I know it should be "Too" Cool in Ten and not "Two". *wink*
So do you think it's a bit WOWed? I made 7 additions to the card and it completely changed it. The changes weren't all that difficult either!
Here's what I did:
- Added a Riding Hood Red layer
- Stamped Baja Breeze layer with Canvas background stamp inked with VersaMark
- Used a blender pen to pick up Riding Hood Red ink to color in the snowman's nose and the dots in the word background
- Distressed the edges of the Night of Navy cardstock framing the image
- Used dimensionals to pop up the main image
- Added a Riding Hood Red Felt Snowflake
- Added three silver brads to the corner
I like how the Riding Hood red gives the card a little but of pop. That small accent helps to break up the monotone of the card.
Here's the recipe for this card:
Stamps: Two Cool Dudes, Canvas
Cardstock: Night of Navy, Baja Breeze, Glossy White, Riding Hood Red
Ink: Night of Navy, Versamark
Accessories: Riding Hood Red Felt Snowflake, Silver Brads, Dimensionals
Tools: Paper Piercer, Distresser Tool

Like it? Nah, LOVE it!
I seem to waver between the "what to add?" and "whoa! less is more, Sue" in many of my finished cards, and this "before/after" would be a cool (ha! snowman pun! forgive me, it's early!) regular blog feature!
