Sweet Thoughts


Well.  As you can see I have 2 different versions of this card.  I had the idea of adding the new die I picked up over my apple image and sentiment and my first inclination was white.  What a surprise.  But I decided to sponge it green then changed my mind after everything was mounted with foam and Glossy Accents.  D'oh!  I did some reverse engineering and managed to cover up the icks with white foliage.  I like this so much better as it complements but doesn't distract from the colored image.  What about you? 

The Details:  Power Poppy Farmers Market, Memory Box Botanical Stem die, Simon Says stitched rectangle die, Copics, Memento Tuxedo Black, Hammermill 80lb color copy cardstock

  9. Even though I am a CAS girl at heart I prefer the green sponged die cut card. The overall design is so pleasing to my eyes. Saying that the second is just as beautiful & they are both beautifully coloured too. Thanks for taking the TIME OUT and joining in on the challenge. Hugs Bev (Uniko ) x
