Sample made for Canadian military - we're sending them cards to send to their family/friends/loved ones at Christmas. Restriction on embellishments - heart is popped with dimensional. Everthing except the letters and heart is stamped off once - Handsome Hunter looked more like Garden Green. Idea for using pencil eraser came from kendra's: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers What else does this need? Thanks for lookng!

It's awfully cute as is! If I had to add something, I might stamp the pine cone and fir tree stamp and cut it out and add it to the bottom right side - I don't think it would cover up anything and it would add a nice touch. But cutting is a lot of work - and if you're making a lot, it might be too much work! EIther way - it's cute!

I love this. To be honest with you I haven't loved the examples I've seen of the Word Search Background. They looked too stark and the circling of the words didn't quite look right. I think what you did softens it up nicely and I love the way you highlighted the words with the little circles. Was that a pencil eraser?

What a nice card. Great idea using the pencil eraser to highlight the words. Sending them to Canadian Military is a super idea. How does one go about doing this?
It looks nice...at most I would say a gold ribbon on the left...? It shouldn't be too bad for the restrictions.
Not sure really...I like it very mucy, but you are right...it needs just a simple tiny little something to tie it up nicely.

Very pretty - the only thing I might add is some ribbon (cause I'm addicted). BTW - thanks for giving me credit on my card. Seriously, I really appreciate it.
