I really do. The colors are nice and everything "blends" for my eyes making it soothing to look at despite the "chaotic" arrangement.<br /><br />The second card is nice, but it's too orderly to count as a "collage" in my opinion and the color palette reads very bright on my monitor. Still the explanation of the principals is very helpful. :-)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06846280229312949679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-47319883994522020652011-11-02T16:44:46.817-04:002011-11-02T16:44:46.817-04:00Susan, thank you so much for the design lesson on ...Susan, thank you so much for the design lesson on collage cards. I keep wanting to try doing them and never quite know how to start as I like things to be very tidy and orderly on my cards! But at the same time, I see other people's collage cards and really like them. I'm keeping your instructions and will give it a try. I love both of your cards but do see why the second one is better.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07741064223875062517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-17798481500925149022011-11-02T12:38:27.724-04:002011-11-02T12:38:27.724-04:00i think they're both pretty perfect, but my st...i think they're both pretty perfect, but my standards are way lower than yours (heh)Mary Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704149969363821322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-24501286182982942652011-11-02T11:58:04.837-04:002011-11-02T11:58:04.837-04:00I actually like *both* of them.

Even though the center area is "chaotic," there is so much lovely white space around it that I think you can get away with it. I like the "unplannedness" of it, as opposed to the predictableness of the second. The second one may be more correct, but the first is no less lovely. Thank you for the great lesson, and the great tips.Suenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-12309861620377807512011-11-01T20:11:19.295-04:002011-11-01T20:11:19.295-04:00Yep, I like the autumn one, too.
