Daydreaming of a great card

I'm working on a card for another swap. 

This one is really causing me fits.

This was my first design.  bleh.  I cased a retired Medallion card, this wasn't a big enough image.  I didn't like it with the bigger images, too much white space in the middle of the images in the Daydream Medallions stamp set. 

So my second sample.  Better but I didn't like the cut off image.  I stamped a bunch that way for the first card but after making the first one (above) I tossed that idea.  The ribbon is the Polka Dot Ribbon turned over.

So after many trial and errors.  You should see my discard pile. . . .

I decided this was the one for the swap.  I gave up on green inks too.

Well, . . . .   So many pieces to cut with the Framelits. 

So I altered it to the card below.  lol  It's easier to cut solid CS rather than

around a stamped image,  4 layers x 25 swap cards.  Makes for crossed eyes.

Happy stamping!
