Anew challenge up on the Stampotique designers blog – this week it’s a sketch. The sketch is nice enough, and I did the first version of the card using it, with some Felt Fusion by Queen & Co (how long have I had that sitting, unused in my stash? a couple of years at least!), some scraps, and some vellum (again, tons of that in my stash but a bit out-of-fashion nowadays) but in the end, I prefer my version, minus the two side blocks. The colour in the photo isn’t as true as I would like it, but the morning light comes in the other side of the house. You can’t really see it, but I punched with a button-hole punch over Moon Girl’s hands so I could thread the flower stem thru it and make it look like she is holding it.
which do YOU prefer?

Hi Mary Anne, your cards are very pretty – I prefer the second version as it is. I also think if you were using the first one it might need something on the other squares to enhance them. 🙂

i like your version just slightly better. A little less crowded so the flower and Moon Girl stand out more. Fab card

i love your version, too :0)
maybe the first one needs something in the other windows?

aw, so cute. I like the symmetry of the first one but the second one definitely pulls my attention.

I love the first one with the vellum windows although they are both darling!!! Great job on them and love that felt. Thanks for joining us at SDC this week!

I agree, your version is better. First version with the three blocks looks too much like a belt buckle!

I vote for the second one as well. It’s more eye catching.

I like the second one best – the single ‘window’ pulls my eye in more strongly to the little figure. Like the colourway …
