I especially love the first one... to me it looked perfect! I think it's just a matter of personal taste.<br />One of the best pieces of advice I ever received was from a dear friend who taught me how to paint. If ever I was unhappy with something, she would advise me to give it the "boot treatment"... leave it in the boot of your car for a few days and then take another look. It's amazing how a little time and distance can change your perspective. Kudos to you for trying something outside of your comfort zone!<br />Cheers,<br />Beccy<br />Beccyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00440145902919125017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1985526742533043067.post-66315851443291210422021-11-14T01:57:43.641+00:002021-11-14T01:57:43.641+00:00please don't be so hard on yourself as i think...please don't be so hard on yourself as i think they were all quite nice! but the little touches you added to them have given each a little something extra!

I fail often too, but often a little addition of something is all a card needs to please me. I'd add a big sparkly gemstone to the center of the first card, but I like the others exactly as they are!

Your cards are fabulous and beautiful! I love kraft Christmas cards, red and kraft just scream Christmas to me. So the only suggestion I have is to put a pop of red on your first card. Besides isn't beauty in the eye of the beholder? I love them and there is nothing wrong with your kraft cards!

Colors just don't allow enough contrast, in my opinion. When I do work with white on kraft, I use both pencil and gel pen because I like the combo effect of those two things. :-DNanaConniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06724115459143098604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1985526742533043067.post-72448963041199737632021-11-12T16:01:01.618+00:002021-11-12T16:01:01.618+00:00Very nice thanks for sharing and have a great week...Very nice thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!!!Beebeebabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11895945524113318775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1985526742533043067.post-80297928791859054462021-11-12T15:10:15.217+00:002021-11-12T15:10:15.217+00:00I think they are all quite lovely, Faith.
