Ol' Blue Eyes

I made this card at the weekend for Less is More and CASual Fridays but I've been hesitant to post it because I'm not overly happy with it.... not sure why but something just isn't right about it, perhaps it's too much blue or not CAS enough? Anyhow it's all I've got at the moment so here goes

Mandi and Chrissie want us to use the colour of our eyes predominantly on our card and as you can see mine are bluey/grey...ok so this is more blue, perhaps that's why I'm not happy with it!!
CASual Fridays asked us to use ribbon loops on our card so I've used loops to act as leaves in my flower arrangement :)
I may be back with another card if I get chance this week, perhaps a re-work of this one!
Oh and I'm entering this into Simon Says Stamp 'Anything Goes'.....I would love to win that $50 voucher :)
Thanks for looking X

  15. What fabulous flowers Jenny!
    I'm not sure why you're not too keen on this .... would you prefer the flower arrangement a little further away from the sentiment, more centrally on the script panel?
    It looks lovely anyway
    Thanks so much
