Just a quick thank you card. The white swish under the saying is white craft brushed on with a paint brush. I got that idea from someone else on this wonderful site!

From the honesty thread: I love this card and really like the white swish! I think a bow might make it pop more than the hemp though. It is really cute!

brutal honesty - I'm not digging the light pink with the navy, yellow and green on this one. I like the red though. Are the flowers stamped on Bazzill? or did you kiss them to the canvas stamp? a bit too much texture. I really like the swish of white, it makes the Thank you POP!

Definitely change the hemp...Other than that it looks great! You could change up the colors if you choose to but not absolutely neccessary...Great Job!

Hmmm. brutal honesty.... the hemp looks a bit lost to me, needs a bow or knot in it. Otherwise I like the white wash under the words. Will have to try that when I want to add word to a dark or busy background. TFS

honesty thread: i like it! i think the flowers don't stand out as much so maybe the bottom layer of the card could be a different color so they don't blend so much? i like it as is though too!

Honesty: I'm not particularly fond of the kissing for the flower outlines. I would also use a darker purple for the large banana flowers. And, I can't visualize it so I'm not sure, but maybe put a knot in the hemp. I love the treatment on the greeting!

BH Thread - remove the hemp...it does not go with the "flowery" nature of this card. If you must, add an organdy bow to the bottom left and move the thank you further to the right.

Honesty: I'm not excited about the textured flowers, either, and it seems like there's a bit too much yellow. But I love that set, and the layout is great! The little red flower is cute!
