What a soothing color palette! I really LUV this card!!! I use a (non s-u) eyelet/brad placement template. If I am not mistaken, s-u's tool kit has something similar with the paper piercing template. I really find it helpful. Mine is called the Eyelet Friend and I got it at a local stamp store.

This is really gorgeous. Love the colors and TFS. My brads and eyelets almost never line up perfectly unless I use a guide of some sort. Sometimes the "imperfections" add personality and originality to hand made cards!

LOVE this card! I think the brads look great like that. Sometimes I measure and make a little pencil dot where I want the brad and even then they are not always straight

I think your card is LOVELY! I have an idea for you to try with lining up eyelets/brads. Ask your demo to give you the top of the order blank that tears off...it has perfectly spaced holes! Try it and let me know what you think..email: [email protected]

Yes, I did the pencil dots on this, which helped; BUT the hand-held punch did me in...again. Maybe I need to use the anywhere punch instead. Am also going to use the piercing guide in the SU Tool Kit when I want them to be PERFECT!! However, it's so nice to hear that 'close enough' may actually work better sometimes. Thank you all for your input! Joyce
