First of all-----let me just say this card is so pretty--makes me want this set even more! LOL!! I cant say that there is anything even kind-of wrong with it..............the only thing I may suggest is making the black sheet w/ the torn edge larger to take up a bit more space on the card front, and then layering a piece of the SS between the black and white layers. Overall, a beautiful card!! TFS!

Very nice card. My only suggestion might be to pierce holes along the side or top or perhaps just in the upper left corner.

I really like it as is, but if you feel you need to add something, I would just do a bit of piercing in the upper left corner... nothing too heavy, though - just a little bit :)

I like the layout. The card works for me as-is. One additional idea would be to flip the torn edge toward the opening flap and also tear the card base to match it.

Oh my, this is a beautiful design! Don't change a thing! It would be very versatile just by changing the sentiment. Into my favs!
