Stampin' Up! Australia - Color Coach Card #108 - Nuts About You

Calypso Coral #2

Hi

Welcome to this week's Artful Stampers Blog Hop.

My card today uses the Color Coach colours of Calypso Coral, Chocolate Chip and Wild Wasabi.

When I re-examine this card, there are a couple of things missing that I would add:

1. A sentiment....I just couldn't make it work so I left it off.
2. Some sort of texturing or stamping on the middle Chocolate Chip band. I like the Wild Wasabi twine, but I think it needs something extra.




So....as I was writing this blog post, I LITERALLY got up and pulled the card apart and put it back together again with the aforementioned suggestions. 

Here is Card B:



Which one do you like best? The minimalist part of me now likes the first one! **sigh**

Here is the sketch for this week's challenge:

  1. They are both lovely Alison :-) I am leaning towards the second card

  2. I like them both, but I think your instinct was right and the 2nd one wins for me. I like how you added "texture" by stamping the tree top.

  3. Although they both look great, I think that Card B has that extra pizzazz.
