Not Sure???

Here's a card I've made for my sister for her 60th but I'm not sure - not exactly one of my best or am I being too critical because it didn't take long to do???

I used one of my new 8x8 embossing folders and then coloured it with pan pastels the numbers and flowers I had in my stash. Used a background stamp and a Kanban stamp to give it some interest and then die cut the butterfly.
Would really be interested to know if you would give this to someone, or would you be pleased to receive it????

  2. Hi Trudi if you don't mind me saying? I think it's the numbers? The background is gorgeous, but I think the numbers need to stand out more? Maybe darker colours or a contrasting colour

  6. Stunning card and I love the beautiful colours but agree with Zoe the numbers need to be standing proud as they blend into the background at the moment.

  7. Beautiful card and yes you should be pleased with it, although I do agree that the numbers blend into the background. May be mounting them onto a deep orange card , cutting around and them decoupage them...just a thought. Have a great weekend. X

  8. I think we tend to be our own worst critics Trudi. Your card is beautiful in color and design. I don't mind the numbers blending in the background a little it makes your card look more cohesive and matching the softness of your background.
