Well, maybe not...

I saw where Queen Kat Designs is having a design team call...I thought about applying. The application process requires you to make 3 cards using 3 sketches that they provide, plus you have to send 3 random cards that you've made. This card is made using one of the sketches. I don't like it...I'm having a really hard time with their sketches. They're nice sketches but for some reason, I'm having a mental block on creating cards with them...I need an HONEST opinion about this card. I followed the sketch to a tee, but I'm really not liking this card! Maybe it's the pink strip- I don't know. I used an old SU hedgehog set for the hello and the flower stamp. The tag is stamped with the Definition background stamp. Papers are all SU.

  3. You can turn you card any way, as long as you have the sketch hun!!!! If your not liking the pink take it off and grab another color. If your not happy with your work, just rework that card then!!! :) You have to be happy with it before you turn it in :) Good luck to you!!!

    And very cute!!! :)

  4. I think your card is cute and I like the sketch. When I have a hard time liking a card that I've made with certain colors, I add black and that usually ties it all together. Good luck with the DT call!!!

  8. You make great cards - I think whenever we do something to someone else's scheme, it puts us under pressure.

  9. I've sat here looking at your card Mary, and to me, it's the pink strip, choose another color from the pallet your using. It is a pretty card and that's the only thing I can see changing!

  10. You do great work! Don't stress... I find when a sketch doesn't work for me that I like to turn it sideways (or even upside down). Sometimes that fresh perspective does the trick.

  11. I'm not sure I'm love the striped background with the pink top strip all going in the same direction. I think you lose the "punch" intended because it all blends together. Also, kind of the same thing with using the words on the strip and then your main image being words as well. Rework it a bit and then submit it. You can do it!
