Honestly...Maybe it's the white? What if it were done with the natural twill tape and a confetti or natural ivory paper for the mat on the cracked glass. But then again, what do I know??? I do need to try that cracked glass, however!

I think it is really reallly pretty! The only thing I might add is some gold cord (maybe 2 strands even) and tie it on the left side on top of that twill tape! Super pretty though!

Honesty thread - I love the colors, but the only thing I would do differently is re-do the cracked glass part without the sponging. I think it's distracts fromt he rest of the card.

BH Thread - can you stamp a word on the twill tape? I like it. It is simple, but nice. (did you use cracked glass on the image or is it distressed?)

brutal honesty therad: I love this card! I would do something with the twill though. It's so wide that it stands out as plain and the cracked glass is elegant. Maybe cord or switch it to a knotted ribbon!

Honesty thread: - lovely card, but I'd prefer natural twill to white. And if you have that lovely swirly greetings set (my mind has gone blank), you could stamp Celebrate along the twill.

Honesty thread : Very nice cracked glass. The white twill & the layer is bit too stark with the other colors. I'd stamp on the twill and change the layer from white to natural or confetti.

brutal honesty thread: I like this! It makes me think of the French Flag and Bastille day, so I would try to add in French Script somewhere on here. Maybe layer it with the print pattern, or even try it on the twill?
