The challenging card

 

Sometimes you just have one of those projects that prove to be quite challenging. For me, it was this card. 

The patterned paper I chose for the base was rather busy and I didn't want to cover it up to make it work. So it was one of those card bases that I would fiddle with for a couple of minutes, then just chuck back into the drawer for "another day when inspiration strikes".

Apparently that day was this past Sunday. I added a strip of green chevron patterned paper, then I found a frame for my owl....and things started coming together.

I added a film strip die-cut to mimic the film strip design on the patterned base. And angled a strip of washi tape to create a visual triangle with the owl.

I finished with some bling. 

What do you think?
