Not so Aligned...

Spend time every day listening to what your muse is trying to tell you. -St Bartholomew


My stamping style is usually pretty...well, Aligned. I do almost everything in straight Horizontal and Vertical lines, alled lined up perfectly, I love the edges to be "Centered." So as I was flipping thru my Many Google Reader blog subscriptions I noticed a few blogs that were Distinctly different from mine...and I decided to try my hand at making things...more...Crooked. :) My LOSTie Sis Tammi and fellow Elzybells DT member Inge are good examples of this style...they both have such a flari for Patterned paper and how to put it together (notice how they Don't layer each PP onto a matching CS...I Never do that!)

So...here is my try at this. I am not 100% happy with it, I feel like the main image needs to be more centered...however, I'm not sure if that is just a product of my Need for things to be centered or a true design flaw...what do you think?

Supplies:
Stamps: Stardust & Moonbeams, Everyday Greetings (Elzybells)
Paper: Offbeat (Basic Grey,) Certainly Celery, Blush Blossom (SU,) Stampers Select White (Papertrey,) Vanilla Bean (Memory Box,) DCWV Textured Navy CS
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Copic Caios
Misc: Dew Drops, Sticky Pearls, Prima Flowers, Silk Flower, MS Simple Scallop Edge Punch, White Sakura Gelly Roll Pen, Paper Piercer, Mat Stack

  7. I love how it turned out! I love the layout and embelishements with this adorable image! I admire cards that aren't centered, but I think it looks weird when I do it myself.
