Sunday's square card balanced curves and angles, symmetry (centered circle on a square) and asymmetry (three flitting butterflies of different sizes in an irregular triangle; the soft, multicolor pastel background).
Today's cards--landscape rather than square--give a little room to embellish with a background. A sharply defined shape (like the large circle) needs something loose and organic to balance it, so I made two different cards with botanical embellishments that ground the circle with two radically different color schemes.

Oh, my! These two cards make my heart happy. I hope they make your heart happy, too!
Mercy, grace, peace, and love,

ReplyDeleteThanks, Cindy.
DeleteThe green card makes me happy...and I don't know why, it just does and I'm thankful to have stopped in to see what you have created! Always joy found here.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you stopped by!
DeleteI love your cards
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks!
DeleteI was looking at the two cards trying to decide which I liked best and realised that I liked them both but they had a totally different emotional feel - amazing what a change in colour can do!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way. They have such different atmosphere.
DeleteLovely. It is interesting to see both colour groups on the same layout!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pat!
DeleteLoving this series! I always enjoy seeing what you do with botanical silhouette stamps, and this look is fantastic. I like the color schemes, how one is energetic and the other is calming—it'd be neat to do one for each of the four seasons.
