The next card uses Take a Bough with the masking and stippling technique I used HERE.
The last card uses a very basic CAS layout for Merry and Bright, with the added interest of popping up the parts of the bigger tree. I love the touch of bling with the rhinestones and the simple punched star.
These three cards all have a different "feel" to them, even though they use stamp sets that are roughly in the same style, with crisp, solid images. Which "feel" do you prefer? Elegant/flourished, natural/organic, or stylized/clean? Inquiring minds want to know.
These cards are super great!! tfs!!
ReplyDeleteOooh, these are all great...I think I like the ornament/stippled one best.
ReplyDeleteAll three are great, I like all of them. If I picked a favorite, it would be the one with the ornament.
ReplyDeleteLOVE them all for different reasons...but my favorite is the third one! LOVE the cut out and popped up tree out front and the BLING with the red ribbon is PERFECT!!! I have to know which is your favorite? :D
ReplyDeleteI really like all of these, but my favorite is the second one. I like the way you masked it to create a background behind your branch and oranment. I would say that I usually tend towards natural/organic first, then stylized/clean. I don't think I make a lot of elegant cards.
ReplyDeletewow, these are great. if I must pick, I would go with #3, but they all rock.
ReplyDeleteI'm torn!! lol
ReplyDeleteI think they all look terrific .. but my eye is most drawn to the first one. Not sure why, but I think it's the matting, and the "balanced" feeling I get from #1.
Oooh you do ask hard questions LOL!
aly
I love the middle one best :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so good making Christmas cards already!!
Such beautiful cards - love them all!
ReplyDeleteGosh...I just love them all, Susan!! If I just had to choose a favorite, I would have to say #1, but all are wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteI definitely like the first one the best. It may be the simple colors or the design. And they're all lovely!
ReplyDeleteNow you are even more confused because we all like different cards. My fave is # 3 - I just love those Christmas trees.
ReplyDeleteI like the first two best! Can't say why.
ReplyDeleteThey are all so beautiful but my fav is the natural/organic.
