Series of cards (Read 1006 times)

Jacqueline_435852 GCU Newbies Posts: 17	Series of cards Jul 7^th, 2018, 8:21am Good Morning! There is a card that I submitted that was approved. However, I would like to make this card as part of a series. How do I let the reviewer know that this is what I have in mind and how do I reword my artist's notes to make this unique?

Hello, Jacqueline,
When requesting series review I have a template that I can open so I don't have to type the whole thing all the time.
This one is for initial series review when no other similar has been approved:

I would like to submit this for possible series review, please.

Design is my original work.

All elements via CU OK license I own:
(Fill in with the links to any elements used)

The following is for when the first of the series has been approved:

This is a continuation of a series beginning with previously approved PID#(enter the PID of first approved) on (enter the date first approved).

Design is my original work.

All elements via CU OK license I own:

As for your artist's notes, it is challenging to change them up when you have a series to get the green thumbs up!
Just try to change the description so it suits the design.
I am sure other artist's better at doing this will chime in!
Good luck and Happy Saturday!
