Redoing a Scrapbook Page

I tend to be a bit anal about my work. In college, I literally edited tests and writing projects until the professors pried them from my hand. Since I scrapbook for fun, I try not to judge my pages harshly. However....

I was compelled to redo the page that frames this photo of my grandson--snoozing like a little man.

Here is the revision:



These are Soho Swirls and flower chipboard by Fancy Pants. I painted them black and red, marked them with a Ranger brush, and shined them with ultra thick embossing enamel by Ranger. I treated the cardstock stars in the same manner. The ribbon appears black, but it is green metallic.

This LO isn't perfect. It's busy. But I realize that the blanket in the photo is busy. I should have opted for something simple, but I had to consider flaws from the previous placement of embellishments on the photo.

FYI, here is the original. I dislike it a lot; lol.
