CAS and Stepped Up Focus: Nesting Finches

Hello!  Michelle here with a fun feature that I am going to do occasionally;  a clean and simple card and then another using similar supplies, but stepped up a bit!  I'd love to hear which cards you prefer and why!  

The images I used this week are from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps:  JJ0077 Nesting Finches and CC0069 Thinking of You.

This card uses the same main image, but I fussy cut the image and popped it up on foam tape.  I also used hand embroidery and distressing on my card.

So, what do you think?!  Which one catches your eye?

  1. I prefer the stepped up card Michelle. They are both very pretty though. I guess it's just a matter of taste. Gorgeous image & great coloring too?

  2. Both cards are pretty, but I prefer the stepped up card. I love layers and I love the way the background is offset. It provides a lot more visual interest. Interesting concept - to show two ways to do the same kind of card - I like it!

  5. I looked at the first card and thought, "nice, I like it!" Then I saw the second card and thought, "WOW, I love it!" So I guess I like the little extras on the second card best!
