Success?

 Hello and welcome!

Today's card was made for a recent wedding, and the colors fit the bill.  However, while I like the card, it may have some success and some needing a do-over.  Let's take a look,
and by the way, there's some weird angles to show you the shine... ok, here we go ~


While this angle shows you no shine, you get a feel for the card.  The pretty flowers got lost and definitely the sentiment too.  Don't get seasick, but here comes the angle ~


Pointed away from me, and directly to the indirect light was the only way I could capture some shine.  The flowers and leaves were copic-colored after hot-foiling a NBUS plate with silver.  The vellum strip was a great way to not hide the image but a good place for the sentiment to land.  Maybe a smaller sentiment?  Everything was mounted on the card base, after adding the pierced panel.  So this one will go to NBUS #75.


Supplies:
   LDRS - Breezy Blossoms pp (NBUS)
   Splb - Timeless Sentiments pp (also NBUS), New Beginnings Sentiments pp
   MFT - Pinpoint Leaf piercing cover plate

I know, I know, don't be so hard on yourself... you're your own worst critic BUT, a girl can learn, right?!

That's all for me!  Thank you for the visit and all kind words received.

Hugs,
TK

Great design but I do feel a smaller sentiment would maybe be better!. It’s really hard to say without seeing the card on person. I love the shimmer!

I love it from every angle, TK - especially that gorgeous green with the silver foiling! It's a fabulous wedding card.. did you fussy-cut your sentiment? SO cool!

That shine is fantastic and I love the soft colors in the flowers! The sentiment is perfect for a wedding. Maybe if it was stamped and embossed on the vellum?

Lovely combination of elements, TK. Thanks for the angled view.

If these were the wedding colors, you did a great job making a card to fit, TK. As for the sentiment, one which I love by the way, I may have embossed it directly on the vellum strip.

Lovely card. I like that you did 2 Angles, Photographing shine/shimmer is hard. - Pretty colors. I agree with a couple of the people about perhaps embossing the sentiment on the vellum.
