Honesty: I'm having a hard time with this one because I love the mountains -- you did a great job making that scene! I would say add ribbon to the left with a tag that says thanks, then use another stamp (deer, bear, something) on a white square matted with black. Just my opinion

Brutal Honesty Thread - I like the idea, I think you need to add more dimention to the trees...can you stamp some closer in the "foreground" and then shade them a bit? Cool mountains.

brutal honesty thread: I think you did a fabulous job with the mountains and the coloring is great! I am not a scenery person so I don't tend to pull those cards up.

Honesty: I don't have any stamps like this so wouldn't be drawn to this style of card but if I had to criticise this in any way I wouldn't be able to - you did a great job and it's really balanced and a cool design.
WOW they look just like my Mountains here in Utah! I could be looking out my window! Great job - I don't like animals (unless their cute fairytale animals) so I wouldn't add a stamped animal - it's so fresh and pure just the way it is - very very nice!
