I am doing this for a swap and I need your help!! Please give me your honest critiques as to what needs to be done, it's just not grabbing me!! Anyway, I got the inspiration for this from Jerri Kay's beauty (Gallery at Splitcoaststampers, but didn't have her stamps and have to use all SU products. Also didn't want to use a lot of extras because of amount I need to make (but wanted one little thing). I drew around main picture with Night of Navy marker instead of matting (do you think this looks tacky?). Any comments on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. TYSM

The style and format are great. If you really feel it needs something, then maybe add a touch of one other color, like a soft blue or pale plum. Otherwise it can stand as it is.
God Bless

I like it a lot & it's going into my favs, but if I were to case this I would not use the petal prints. This is one of my fav stamp sets also, esp this girl. TSMFS

I'm like Redbugdriver, maybe remove the petal prints. Perhaps it detracts from the BG writing. Otherwise, love it. I'll definitely put in my favorite and CASE one of these days. TFS>

Like those above me, I really like this card! You know this is one of my favorite stamps...like the others I too would leave off the petal print leaves. I makes it too busy. I also like the effect of using only one color. It reminds me of old fashioned like we were discussing on the phone today. I can't wait to see the one you do for the bulletin board.
