I started making this card as my DT entry but didn't like how it was going so I abandoned it and moved onto a different card. I'm not entirely sure why I wasn't happy with it, musing on it now I wonder if the choice of patterned paper was the problem but I'd adhered it to the card front already. Anyway, I know not to ignore that feeling when I get it. Forcing the issue is not the right way to go for me, to avoid frustration it's far better for me to lay a card aside and come back to it later! Originally I planned just to have the plain white sentiment oval but on my revisit I've added a red Modern Label punched shape behind which I like better. I think just that small pop of colour makes a big difference somehow. I've also added the punched photo corners. The tree is popped up. I had already placed jewels on the star and snowflake but now I've added 3 more jewels in a line on the image panel.
Here's the inside and the envelope. I've used my fab new Snow Flurry die for the red snowflakes and a punch for the white ones. Have you got any cards that you've abandoned part way through? Maybe now is the time to revisit and rescue them!
