ASKING FOR SUGGESTIONS TODAY

This is a card that I am posting for you to see but to ask for your suggestions. I loved this stamp. It is an unmounted red rubber stamp that I purchased at a very cheap price. It was so large though that none of the Oval Nesties were big enough so that I could cut it and still be able to put another mat behind it. I had purchased a Coluzzle set and it actually took the largest one of those to get the entire design in.

I inked each section with markers. After stamping the image I added some clear embossing powder to the pinecones and heat embossed them.

If you have any ideas I could use to enhance the card, please tell me..........I just think it could use something further.

Great card, Vicki! I think perhaps just a sentiment - in the lower right, but extending out over the white image panel a bit. That would be my suggestion:)

Maybe cut down the green and mount it again on white, or use a gold pen to dress up the edge of the white oval.

In the future this stamp might be good for a real clean and simple look by stamping it directly on white cs, then drawing a rectangle around it with a sentiment underneath it as part of the rectangle. Here's an example http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1267959

Hope this sparks an idea...
