Br Shower/VP help (PIPs)
Wow, I forgot how much I love VP...per some of you, I'm stealing the idea to include postcards in bridal shower invites (co-hosting for friend) as recipe cards.
The wedding colors are orange and green, so trying to stick with that theme. I have two options I like, but only one I made a mock-up. Which color background do you like and do you have suggestions for mock-up (green one). I'm nervous the orange won't turn out well on the green, but really want to have it. I'm not sold on the layout of the back either. (FYI- right now I'm thinking I'm going to pay to get the colored background as shown)
(already I'm thinking that I want to make "Recipe for" small and center it, then do a new line for the fill-in line below, if that makes sense)

Hm, whatcha think? I like the front but not the back. I think I'll do an orange mockup to:

What about this one, Hannah? It's still the green, but the background is lighter so you can see the orange.

Duplicate post. Stupid Nest!
Have you tried the advanced editing?? Usually it will let you change stuff like that on the advanced editing page, but not the regular editing one...
Tisha - I looked at that one originally, I'll try a full mockup and see how it goes! I like yours so far!
Megan - Nope, only advanced editing was rotating. Boo.
I could do front w/black shown above and then this for back:

Well, Boo.
Could you do black writing over the green, and orage over the white? Or do they both have to be the same color?
Idea for set (picture is a print screen, no don't mind blury-ness):

I voted for orange, because I think it's cleaner.
I also really like the one Tisha did - seems like it would be easier to read, has both colors, and I like the print.

Ooo, I like the orange. Here are two new:

I'm not sure I like the way the back is set up.... I feel like having a specific number of lines for the ingredients could get messy, as some recipes have only a few ingredients, and some have tons. I don't have any advice for that though :P
My thought about the front is, what about just adding a white box, then putting the orange text over it?

All I did was make a white "box" in MSPaint, then add the image to the postcard. I cropped it and resized until it crossed the whole card.
I LOVE that you used Kon Tiki, it's my favourite

Obviously all I did was the first part, the bottom text would need like.. a scroll-y flourish-y box.
The all bright orange is just so..... eye-effing to me.

It is a valid point... but I don't know what you could do to fix it.
I have a cookbook "journal" that I hand write recipes we like in, and I almost always have more ingredients than the available lines. I usually just double up on the first few lines, but it does not look like there is enough room for that on the post card...
