The first card uses a rock-and-roll technique. I inked the whole image with lime versamagic ink, then rolled fresh green on the edges. The sentiment uses a combination of fresh green and bark, and the leafy background in the corner opposite the sentiment is fresh green.
The second card uses just lime ink and bark for the sentiment. No rock and roll here. I stamped the leaves twice at a diagonal to create some movement, and put the sentiment for this one on the same panel as the tea pot.
I like them both equally but would love to hear if you have a favorite between the two...and why.

These are so fresh and gorgeous, Susan!!
ReplyDeleteThese are both so crisp and clean! I prefer the second one--I like the shade of green and the extra leaves you stamped on the bg.
ReplyDeleteHow CUTE are these!! LOVE LOVE LOVE the background leaves..it looks wonderful with the teapot!
ReplyDeletethey are both perfect!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous stamp Susan, I can see lots of uses for it! and I love what you have done with both cards.
ReplyDeleteMy fav would be the design of the second and the colour of the first, particularly the depth of colour you got with the rock & roll tech on the teapot.
Beautiful! I like the first one because of the variation in the color - gives it more depth.
ReplyDeleteHey Susan!
ReplyDeleteI forgot to say which one I like best...they are both awesome but if I had to pick one I would pick the first one because I like the two tone tea pot and the shade of green used for the leaves...
I really love tea pots too. They are both great, but I think if I had to pick one, I can't! I love the different tones of ink on the top one and the additional leaves on the bottom one.
ReplyDeleteThey are both beautiful, but I prefer the first one because of the depth of color the rock and roll technique gives it. It really suits the curve of a teapot to have the center of it highlighted like that. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I like the first one because I like colors that coordinate rather than match all the time. This set has been on my PTI wishlist, and you just kicked it up a couple places, lol!
ReplyDeleteLove them both! If I had to choose, I would pick the second one because of the extra layer and the second set of leaves, but I do love the rock and rolled teapot...
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I like the both, too, but I think I like the deeper green on the first one! Lovely!
ReplyDeletemy favorite...both!! :-) These are amazing!! This set is definately on my wish list and you make me want to order it right away!!
