Finally found the time to play with some new toys. I think I went a little too crazy with the paisley... oh well.
thanks for looking!
feedback always appreciated!

Not too bad but maybe if you would have embossed the flower in clear or irridescent Ice and maybe added Organdy to the center it would have softened it up..
Now I might have to experiment and see what I think..

I love it. I think it may be a bit overwhelming on the eyes, but if you matted the flower in a solid color it would totally rock! The Flower would pop!

I'm a total sucker for paisley! I think that there does need to be a bit more color contrast, though. I agree with a pp that maybe flower need a solid mat. Love it, though!!

NEVER! The words "too much" and "Paisley" just do not go together in my vocabulary! Love it!!

ok ladies, I'm going to see if I can "wow" up this card. I'll work on something and update the before-after pic when my toddlers go to bed tonight.

god I love this site! bless you all!
I love the paisley!! Maybe just soften it up a bit, a lighter BG? A different center?? Ribbon? I do like the card though, I really disliked the stamp so I started looking on here to change my mind and you all did!!!! Thanks for the ideas!!
