scan makes it a bit darker. the brown i used is close to cocoa but the scan makes it look like chocolate chip. the main image didn't scan well either. oh well!

Honestly, that doesn't look like celery! I'd love to see it in IRL to compare!!! I bet it would look really pretty if the green were swapped for pale blue or pink! Cute design with the taglets!

Honesty thread reply - Honestly....I can't find anything to say about this card...it's super cute! I love the color combo! I am shocked that this didn't have a ton of replies, because it deserves them

From the honesty thread....
I think it is *just* the poor scan (with the colors being sooo 'off')! When I imagine this card in close to cocoa and celery...I see WOW!

honesty thread - Wow, your scanner did a job on those colors LOL! I like mamakimberly's suggestion to try it in a blue or pink that would be very cute to

Honesty: I would do a little less distressing. If you change color, I think just the girl and the tags (to me the tags get lost). I like the green background.

BH Thread - I think there is too much crinkling or distressing...try to balance between "aged" and "it got stuck in my backpack" look. (I mean that to be funny, not mean...) I do like the colors together. The tag on the bottom kind of gets lost, could you mat it in white to make it stand out more? Maybe add a hemp wrap or two to tie the tag to?
