I am thinking of sending this as a RAK...but, not sure about it...are the brads to much? Is the cut out for sentiment not right? I'm just uncertain...I may need to redo the top layer ... what do you think? This is similar to the tulip design I did earlier this week, but I used different color combo and added more background stamps, now that I'm home with all my supplies. That said, I'm just not quite pleased...I really think there may just be too much going on this time. Again, the tulip stamp image is cut out. It is overstamped with linen, then the flowers and leaves are Embossed with Irredecent Ice and the bucket is embossed with Clear. French Script and Linen is stamped on the Vanilla layer. The Green layer is stamped with Canvas at different angles (just playing around, trying out a different look) and then the Garden Green is Applied to the edges DTP. Floral is stamped on the main card in Pumpkin. I hand wrote the sentiment and cut out the opening using an exacto knife (still don't feel comfortable with that knife). I used the small slot punch in the upper left hand corner and attached the ribbon through that opening. Decided at last minute to use the brads...and I think that is when I went to far over the top. Please help me decide. Thanks for your imput.

I think it's perfect the way it is. I don't think there is too much going on at all. The brads look great with the cooper pail. Whoever receives this card will be thrilled!

Beautiful card. I don't think you have gone overboard on this. I am saving it. I have that same stamp, and have struggled to find ways to display it. Thanks for the inspiration. Glinda
