Leaf Canopy Collage #2

Here is my second card with the smaller leaf canopy that was left over from THIS card.

As the leaf was smaller, there was more room for the bigger acetate butterfly.

Leaf Canopy Collage #1

Sometimes cards don't go the way you had planned ... they seem to have a life of their own.

I started with wanting a CAS card with the leaf canopy.  I played with the idea of having a pink strip, and the confetti below, but I got stuck! Asked myself all sorts of questions :

• Need to bring in the pink somewhere else. With what? Where?
• Where do I put the sentiment?
• Is it enough? Or too bare?

Do you ever second guess yourself too?

So then I splattered the background - having covered the leaves with their die cuts to protect them. But I didn't like it.  So I die cut them out.

Played around with other die cuts and stamps ... and instead of having 2 leaf canopy stamps, I only used one.  

Come back tomorrow for the second card.
