OK...BHThread...I am thinking a darker color would definitely bring out the technique more...It is truly a lovely card and made with one of my most favorite sets of all time....

honesty thread: I really like this! Maybe the top part could have been a little "fuller" with a few more images going off the edges or a little closer together so more would fit on it? Really I think it is great as is though!

BH Thread - I love the colors on this one. It needs something, not completely sure what, I would have to play with it. I have come back twice to take a peek. I would add a narrow ribbon and bow at the top, bring the leaves and matting part down just a bit. (Maybe...hmmmm.)

Honesty: Beautiful as is! Maybe the images could be tighter together to see more of them and maybe sponging or using saran wrap crunched up and stamped lightly with the darker colors on the ivory part would just perk that up and bring it together. Truly doesn't need anything though!

I love this! But I'm supposed to be being brutal, so all I can say is that I'd love it EVEN more, if there there was a torn layer of chocolate chip just slightly peeping out from under the mustard.

Brutally Honest...I think this card is absolutely beautiful, but if it were me I would add a piece of Old Olive or Really Rust behind the whole card to tie it all together.

Really like this card and how you did the top of it. Brutally honest--The bottom looks so bare to me. Maybe add some sponging or make the top come down more?

Honesty thread: I love the crayon resist! I think if you used a darker color cardstock like the rust or olive for the base of the card it would pop more.
