Need constructive critizism please

[Suzanne]

I have tried using a colored in image on this card & didn't like it as much as I like the uncolored one.

Please tell me what you think & give me any suggestions.

Thanks

Suzanne it is gorgeous, I like it uncolored. The only thing I would say is the sentiment is fighting a bit with the image, could you move it off the image and farther into the right hand corner.
Also, do you have any silver ribbon?

It's very pretty! I like Ally's suggestion of Silver Ribbon. I wouldn't color it in completely, if anything I might try sponging it or something, but I like the starkness of the white.

The first thing I thought of, other than how pretty the card is, is to sponge a faint bit of complementary color on or around the image. And definitely ribbon. I really like your backgrounds!

Very pretty. I agree that the sentiment if fighting for the focal point. I would also layer the main focal image. I like the idea of silver ribbon or cord.

I think it is very pretty. I think if you were to sponge the edges of the Main image CS and layer it it would be nice, and if you are able perhaps a light watercolor wash over the main rose image....but really if I were to get this card in the mail I would be sure to say OH WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Suzanne, it is lovely. But, if you wish, you might tap the edges of the focal image against a Versamark and then dip into Silver EP for a beautifully subtle yet elegant edging effect?

Or, I would mat it with the same color c/s you used to mat the sentiment and that would help anchor the focal more prominently?

I think it looks wonderful the way it is, but if your looking for some color you could reverse emboss and add some sponging in a complimentary color.

[GarnetJ]

I agree with the ideas of the others... a layer behind the main image or a bit of color around the edge of the image. Just needs that beautiful rose to be focused a bit.

Sometimes simple is best. I like it the way it is.

So are you changing anything? If you do, do we get to see the final product?! ;)
