Thank you card

As always - click to enlarge photos. I have used a sheet of paper, from which I have selected different areas of colour, so that the pieces co-ordinate.

The 'Thanks a bunch' is an acrylic slider which I have threaded onto dark ribbon. I can't decide whether I want the wording in the centre or to one side - so I can slide it either way!








The inside. It is square - I have just taken the photo 'funny'!

Thank you for you kind comments, I really want to get better at card making, and hope to make some more.

Paula I agree with you about the blossom. To be truthful, I had bought a few blossoms and one of them matched the colour scheme - so I put it on just for that reason - which is not the correct thing to do LOL

I should have left it off altogether or have put it where you suggested

I love getting suggestions on how I can improve things - it's the only way to learn and get better.

I'd leave the flower at the top & move the slider over to the left to balance it. Then your three elements will form a triangle, which is good compositionally - it leads the eye around the picture. I like the way you've offset the stamped image. Lovely colours too.

I've just been reading your last few entries. Are you really a beginner cardmaker?-these are really good. I especially like the last one with the tree of words, that's lovely and the colours you've chosen for this one are warm and lovely. The acrylic slider is a clever idea too. Can't wait to see more.
