When you just don't think it is looking right, try something different. That's exactly what I did with this card. The first photo shows what the card initially looked like. Well, I didn't like it. The design, yes; the colors, yes; the plain look of it, nope! So, I jazzed it up just a wee bit as you can see in the second photo. I wanted to leave the sketch from
CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge pretty much as it was since I really liked the look of it. And, the colors from the
ColourQ Challenge look so good together.

| The Before |
See what I mean? It's just a bit dull and you can't see the sentiment that I stamped using
Craft White as it just doesn't show up well at all on the
Tempting Turquoise. What to do! Now here is the finished project. I love that
Decorative Dots Embossing Folder!

| The After |
Stamp Sets: Work of Art, Everything Eleanor (Stampin' Up!);
Ink: Pool Party (Stampin' Up!);
Card Stock: Chocolate Chip, Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White, Gold Foil Sheets (Stampin' Up!);
Accessories & Tools: Hexagon Punch, Owl Builder Punch, Itty Bitty Punch Pack Circle, Extra-Large Oval Punch, Decorative Dots Embossing Folder (Stampin' Up!), Dimensionals
In the second photo you can really see the gold of the hexagon. Overall, I like the revised card best. It has more character, wouldn't you agree?
