Your design is top rate- the color is amazing and the photos and layered flowers are all fantastic but I think you're right- the distress inks are distracting for your central design. Maybe some doodling on top or some layering of transparencies or other material cut into leaf shape to add over the green color so you can still see it but not focus on the fussy detail? I feel the exact same way about the inks by the way!Michelle Hernandezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03679879157645074185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651131412786316655.post-67805768653288220002012-05-16T21:42:02.206+08:002012-05-16T21:42:02.206+08:00Your LO turned out pretty dang good for someone th...Your LO turned out pretty dang good for someone that doesn't like distressing...
