I knew I wanted to use a circle and triangles (in a pennant or sunray fashion.) I find it so much easier to create when I have at least a couple elements in mind. It doesn't always work out or go the direction I intended, but it usually works out.
This card went in a different direction. Initially the top half of the card was Whisper White. I tried using Sticky Strip in a sun ray pattern. Then sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds. It sounded good, but didn't look so good. So, I went with a simple DSP in Night of Navy. It's better. Am I totally satisfied? No, but unless I gutted the whole card, I considered it done.
