My second challenge - in two days! I can't say that I am thrilled with it, but I think it had potential; can you tell me what you might do to add to it?

Welcome to the challenges! Your card looks great to me...but if you wanted to add something else to it...maybe another pattern along the green or some embellishment?
Another idea might be to pick up an element from the chair stamp, like that cute flower, or a spiral (like on the arms) and repeat it somewhere else on the card. It could go near the sentiment, or along the green strip.
Perhaps a bright layer behind the white, too? Or direct to paper the edges just to line it with color a bit.

I like this card just the way it is-- it's very nice! But if you feel you must do something additional to it, I like all the ideas mentioned. I think sponging or direct to papering the edges are easy add-ons, as are background stamps to give it depth. Aren't you glad you played the challenges? Welcome!! and play again!

The card is great, but you could put the ribbon along the center of the green strip, or buttons, and perhaps use a background stamp on the card itself, or make the bkgd. like the other glas suggested using sponge, direct to paper.

This is a GREAT card! I love your coloring! You know, this would make a FABULOUS buckle card! That would add some dimension, also. Maybe you could stamp a BG stamp in Versamark on the solid colors for a subtle touch. This is BEAUTIFUL! I'm putting it in my faves! TFS!
