Help with a card please...

[Disneywed]

Help!!! Need to get this out in the next day or so for a swap, liking the general idea, but it isn't working.....scrap the whole idea & start over or__________???????

I like the pocket card idea and the shamrock embellishments are cool. If I had to make a suggestion, I might say to use a green CS and stamp the irish blessing script in white craft ink.

I like the pocket part, but I think you might need to re-work the insert. I haven't had enough caffeine to have any ideas for you though

I'm no expert, but the colors seem wrong. I would stick to all green for St. Patrick's day. I like the suggestion of green c/s with white craft ink.

Cute idea and I love the shamrocks! I like the idea of green cs w/ white ink. Also, I would tie the ribbon around the middle or side of the top shamrock in a knot, rather than threading it thru.

I take it that by using orange, you're being inclusive of Northern Ireland, in which case you should keep it. But I'd make the green stronger. Perhaps a green base with white script, as others have suggested.

OK here's my suggestions ;)

If you are going to round the corners of the insert, I'd round the corners of the pocket at the top and the flap. I would also sponge the edges rather than DTP, with the green, it doesn't look right IMHO

I LOVE the Shamrocks and the idea of the ribbons going thru them, but the top ribbon color should match the ink color. I like the idea of the green CS and white ink.

Good Luck! You're off to a great start

[Disneywed]

Oh My Goodness!!! Thank you all so much for steering me in the direction of the white craft ink!!! I stress so much over swaps, gotta stop signing up. Now, one more problem I am having.....which ribbon/which embelishment......

[laurakj]

OK I like the insert as is I like the black gingham ribbon

Could you hang the Shamrock from the gingham ribbon? And then have the white ribbon going between the eyelets?

[MWDStamp]

Wow, what a difference that green makes. Great card. I say go with the orange ribbon. I think a splash of orange is just great.

Laura, you rock!!! I am loving the ribbon/charm at the top, but not so much the white....get rid of it all together??

Judy, I really like this one much better.........

Judy, I like seeing the changes you made to your card. I like it with the green base and the charm at the top. I liked the charm on the ribbon too, but it filled in up top nicely.

[laurakj]

Try pulling the white a bit tighter, so that the folds are even on each end. See what that does

I LOVE it with the charm hanging!

ok, going back down into the cave to finish these up, THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
