Color Throwdown #617

After seeing some of the other entries for Color Throwdown, I hesitated on actually posting my card. I spent time getting the C9 turnabout to do what I wanted and then ruined it by cutting apart the sentiment.  No matter what I did, I couldn't get it to look straight.  I mean even my T ruler is crooked warped.  Well it is a handmade card after all so here goes.


Thanks for taking a look.  I thought I'd make more of these since the turnabouts make it easy and I do have two more backgrounds with the colors in different ways but they're headed for the recycle bin.  I'll try again later. I also did the sentiment on vellum which made them straighter but the sand embossing powder looked more like gold and the required color is kraft.  I'm glad I didn't struggle with all the cards I made yesterday.

There's not one thing wrong with those fun little sentiment strips - they are meant to be fun, so 'off kilter' isn't even a problem, in my view, Bobby!
Those turn-about stamps sure can be tricky - I think the jib is the only way to perfect them. Wish I'd remember to put them in my cart!
It's a wonderful card, Bobby!

I take my hat off to you for even trying to do this little word strips! There isn't a ruler made that can get things straight for me! It looks to me like you've got your words straighter than I ever could and that background is fabulous!

Your turnabout background is perfect! And I agree with you about the little sentiment strips--no matter what tool I use or how hard I try, mine end up all crooked, too... Thanks for joining us for this week's Color Throwdown!

Looks like a great card to me! I have struggle days so I can sympathize but don't be too hard, it's great!
