I'm entering a card contest at my local scrapbooking store. The card has to be made from stuff at their store, so I didn't stamp any of it. I'd like feedback so I can make it better if it's not up to par.

I think it would have been better if the papers added were not rounded. I like the straight edge look better. I do not like the stitching. It looks too busy to me.
I also think that adding a bit of brown ribbon would look cute.

Go for it! I really like your collage of Scenic Route papers. Perhaps if you're looking for a little bit of dimension, dimensional foam 'dots' could lift one or all of the turquoise flowers. The rounded corners actually echo the curves of the dots, circles, flowers, and your stitching. Good luck with this! I hope you win!

I was prepared to offer some suggestions, but when I saw this card, I am too impressed to offer anything except praise. I love it. I love all the details, yet they form a very pleasing whole -- and that's a hard trick to pull off. Good luck!
