Honesty: I like it. I can't tell if this is really necessary since you say it is washed out, but maybe mat the whole thing in another layer of Mauve? Love the flowers in the cage -- great idea!

brutal honesty thread: I think this is really good! The little brads are perfect! I would only maybe put it on a layer of mauve just to set if off a bit more. Great card though!

Brutal honesty: I think this is a great card that got overlooked because the photo doesn't do it justice. It wouldn't stand out as a thumbnail, but when you view it closely it's great! Nothing to change, IMO!

Honesty thread: this is a lovely card. Since you said the colors got washed out in the scan (hate it when that happens), that's probably why it got overlooked. I love the layout and the brads are really cute. I would have said use a darker color, but since the computer "washed" the colors, I'll bet it's just perfect IRL.

honesty thread: I think it's cool! I agree that the whole card could be layered on another piece of mauve. one other suggestion (take it with a grain of salt cause maybe it wouldn't look right!) but you could tie a piece of ribbon around the top area and the sentiment layered over top of it and it would be tied so the bow would be to the right of the sentiment piece (make sense?)
