I think it looks really cute just the way it is! But if you want to add something, maybe a brad/eyelet on either side of the greeting? Or stamp some of the asterisk images all over the green background in VersaMark?

It's super cute. But if you were to change anything I think it looks empty in the left hand bottom corner-maybe add a couple eyelets there? Cute though! Love the fiber on the side!

Lose the fibre WOMAN! Then put either 2 more black eyelets on the other side or 1 centered between the 2 on the other side.

I agree with no fiber, maybe a bow instead?? Eyelets in the left hand corner OR versamark the background.

Personally, I like the fiber. The only thing I would add would be to VersaMark the little asterisks on the green card base.

I like the fibre, but could live with a bow...and I really like the idea of the versa mark...someone gave me that suggestion last week...you won't even need to take the card apart...I really like your colour combo...Rebecca

I like the fiber, but it seems to get lost being such a small piece. Maybe wrap it around the whole card? 3 eyelets in the lower right hand corner under the words is what I first thought of.

This is so scary. That is almost identical to a card I'm trying to design for swaps at convention. I guess I'm going to scrap that idea. I'm glad you posted it before I really got going!;)

By the way, I think it's adorable! I especially like the colors!

I liked the "before", but really like the "after." Great card.

Thanks to everyone for your help.....I think that version #2 is how it is going to stay.

I really appreciate all of your suggestions.

Raelene -

Any chance you're bringing that card to swap in Millet?
If so - save one for me! ;)

I like you card so I had to force myself to take a second hard look to figure out anything "wrong" with it. All I could come up with is that it feels heavier on top. Maybe go with the plan of threes and add another black line near the bottom? I'll attach an example. BTW, I really do like it just the way you made it.

That was my thought that the background needed some sort of "something" you could easily mask off what is already there and do a background treatment. If you used versamark you could just stamp right over the words. It's a great card though!

I think it looks great! I love the colors and wouldn't have thought to put the leaf and flower together from the set ( I am still very new at this).


Good job!! TFS!

I think it's wonderful! Remember.... KISS: Keep it simple stamper!!!
Love the stars added though but not necessary.
love the fiber but another option would be using a pink or black ribbon that would jump out a bit more.
It's wonderful!
