I need to send a card abroad to DHÂ’s Uncle. All my offerings DH ReJECTED! (see my last 3 posts). SonÂ’s helpfully offered me the following advice:
NO flora or fauna. NO pictures (son no. 1) NO art. Maybe Nothing (son no.2)
Me: Aghast! Is this even possible?... I was seriously deflated...I refuse to send Uncle plain & boring. I took 3 days to contemplate this impossible assignment. Scoured SCS for inspiration.
I decided TEXTURE was key...I could disguise DP if it was subtle...ink edges...3D foam dots...I was not defeated.
The following 6 cards were offered. 3 got good reviews. 1 pleased everyone. 2 rejected.
Their comments gave me some insight into what MEN want...helpful for future reference!
(PS...If you can make a card with the above criteria...please share!)
I liked this a lot, but had misgivings it met 'the criteria'. I was right.
Rejected outright by all the menfolk. Not minimalist enough... :(
(All is not lost...I’ll add a flower or two and make it a ‘feminine’ card.)
