Isn't it funny how you can make a card and be quite pleased with it, but before you send it you decide it needs a little 'tweak'?That's what happened with this card:
I liked it, but the black sentiment looked too heavy... so I changed things to this:
and I think it looks much better for that subtle mini-makeover!I hope this card has reached it's Blogland recipient by now and she's as happy to receive it as sweet 'Love Letter Kaylee'.

I think both of them look fantastic! The black framing definitely balances out the black sentiment, but either one works perfectly. Great job
