Hi Everyone. This is a card I did while just playing around with stuff. I like this card but it seems to need something. The background is the wax paper resist cut into rectangles mounted on black cardstock. The flowers have been watercolored with ink. Three of the flowers are raised with the staming dimensionals. Any Suggestion?

I love it! Very cool design. Maybe a sentiment or 3 black eyelets/brads in that upper righthand panel, but it's a cool card even without anything else. Great job.

I love the amount of flowers I think it looks great. How about one of the words from Word by Word background going horizontally down the right hand corner? like Frienship?

I like the idea of the black/white gingham ribbon & a black sentiment on it. I kept thinking that a tiny little touch of yellow somewhere else might tie it together a little more, too, but I don't know where or how (fat lot of help I am!). I DO, however, lOVE that gorgeous cluster of flowers. Its dramatic & colourful. You are on your way to something really great here. Can't wait to see your finished product!

It's pretty as is, and I don't think there are too many flowers. How about 3 yellow eyelets, brads or even some pretty golden-yellow buttons with black threads at the upper right-hand corner. Or a small word or saying hanging by a small black ribbon. Just my thoughts.
