A smaller one would work better with the other 2. Maybe raise the center one on Pop Dots and ink around the edges for a little more dimension?<BR/><BR/>Love the blues - great colors!Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16708708423596855492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-299062874363530600.post-75134242512968075652007-11-21T21:57:00.000-05:002007-11-21T21:57:00.000-05:00I don't think your larger ornament should be neces...I don't think your larger ornament should be necessarily be reduced but I do feel you should remove the left smaller ornament and layer the right smaller ornament over and slightly to the right of the bigger ornament. 3 elements maximum should be the rule. I would add hooks and stamp the sentiment on a slim tag and hang it on to the hook of the smaller ornament. Other than that, I think your card looks fabulous!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653907599403959378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-299062874363530600.post-42196157797410334362007-11-21T18:21:00.000-05:002007-11-21T18:21:00.000-05:00I agree..the center ornament could be smaller, and...I agree..the center ornament could be smaller, and maybe to balance the whole design, you could put two snowflakes in the upper left corner and one in the bottom right corner<BR/><BR/>Love the blue!

The greeting needs to be larger if used at all. who says we need to put words on the front of every card??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-299062874363530600.post-70460206283721196032007-11-21T14:36:00.000-05:002007-11-21T14:36:00.000-05:00I agree the center ornament is slightly too large....I agree the center ornament is slightly too large. It may seem less so if the smaller ones are layered on top. I like the snow flakes, but maybe you won't need them when you put on the hooks. <BR/><BR/>I think some white space can be good. I read in a Cathy Zeiske book that balanced margins make for a cohesive design, so if you shrink the center, snug in the smaller ones, creating more uniform borders, the white space may feel more comfortable.

I like the snowflakes there. I also think that the center ornament should be just a little bit smaller because it takes up so much of the card. <BR/><BR/>If you're wanting to dress up the ornaments, you could add a strip of ribbon or card stock across the middle. It's not necessary, it's just an idea.Dannie Graveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320847999263923173noreply@blogger.com
