SEEING DOUBLE
So on your entry this week, we'd like to see TWO of something.
so I've gone for two of everything ...
Background circle stamp is Hero Arts with Tattered Rose Distress Ink
Foliage is Papermania Oriental Treasure with Versafine Olympia Green & Diamond Stickles
Butterfly is Hero Arts Antique Engravings with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink
I realise the whole thing should have been positioned slightly higher so that it left a bit of blank space at the bottom but maybe I can just about get away with it! Or maybe I should just trim the top off?
You can skip this next bit but it was my birthday yesterday and I just wanted to share the fabulous handmade cards I received from family and friends - thank you all so much ...

If ever I get a card that for whatever reason the positioning is not quite as I had envisaged, I sometimes do a little creative cropping, so that the images sit more comfortable on the card.
Things which are positioned quite close to an edge often look better either further into the centre of the card or off the edge completely.
Looking at this one, my instinct would be to crop it vertically through the centre of the right hand circle... you'd lose one of the butterflies, but the greenery that was left would suggest a repetition...
What think you?
These were just my musings you understand.
The card is lovely!
Thanks so much

Happy birthday Suze and what a beautifully decorated cake and a wonderful pile of cards you received! Love the seeing double card! Vx
Great card, the stamps and colours are lovely. You got some gorgeous birthday cards too, hope you had a fab birthday :o) Lisa x
Lovely card
I think Id actually put part of the stamping on the top right, in line with the bottom, as if the design is part of a bigger picture. It will mean stamping off the page, and no butterfly.
It looks good as it is, however, you just didn't sound overly pleased
Good to see you
Thank you
