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**

Second one hands down!
ReplyDeletelove them both
ReplyDeleteThey are both lovely Alison :-) I am leaning towards the second card
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteAlthough they both look great, I think that Card B has that extra pizzazz.
