Remember that I promised another Boho Backgrounds card in my Monday post? I just wasn't completely happy with my Basic Grey Boho card, and thought it needed a shot in the arm. Not that I'm completely happy with any of my cards - I can always find something I'd like to change even after they're supposedly complete!
Well, I took another stab at my original card, and even though I'm calling it "done", I can still see a few things I'd change! That's either the mark of an artist or the mark of an obnoxious perfectionist.
So here's version 2. This one is similar, but I think I like it better. I used more white embossed cardstock and less grey Boho Background; added some red matte to the grey Boho part; added some black brads - which I think makes it look a lot better by introducing another color to the mix - then stamped the 'kind thoughts' on a white background with punched corners. Other than that, it's pretty much the same card - hahahaha!
So here's the side-by-side comparison:
What do you think? I'd love to hear your opinions! Which one do YOU like better?
Hope to hear from you!
