I made the above card for today's SCS challenge - to use only white cardstock. I used the Sweet Pea set from Flourishes for the image and colored it with copic markers. I liked this card when I made it but wasn't totally happy with it after I took the pictures so I decided to take it back to the work table and make some additions.
I added some blue sponging to the outside of the layers the create more contrast against the white background. I also added black dots to the debossed edges. Which card do you like better - the original or the remake? Leave a comment and let me know.
Supplies
Stamps: Sweet Pea - Flourishes
Ink: Black Memento, Colorbox light blue chalk
Accessories: Cuttlebug Textile folder, Copic markers (BV13, G21, G05, B12, BG05, B00), Velvet Ribbon, Dimensionals, Spellbinders dies

They're both so beautiful, MIchelle, that it's hard to decide. But I think I prefer the elegant simplicity of the first one. The colors you've chosen are just gorgeous and stand out beautifully against the white.
I like the first one! It's so lovely!
What a beautiful card, Michelle. I love the colours. I think you were right to remake it, the sponging and dots make it (hmmm, tries to think of a word!) ... less stark, I think!!

I really like the clean look of the first one. I think it is the dots o the second that are too over-the-top for me.
They're both absolutely gorgeous, Michelle, but if you're going to MAKE me choose... I'm going with the sweet & clean # 1. Hope you're doing well, girlfriend. I miss you already. :(
Both striking cards beautiful colours, gorgeous layout, i like the top one best, very classy looking, sue.x
I like them both, but the second card has a little more character. The sponging adds some depth and definition. Gorgeous! Love the color and the stamp.
