Both of these cards were created using the Nature’s Harvest stamp set but the first card uses the circles from the Watercolor Shapes stamp set from the Annual Catalog and the second card uses a circle stamp from the Textures & Frames Sale-a-bration set (free with a $50 order)

The circles on both cards are stamped with Pale Papaya ink and the flowers and greetings are stamped with Cinnamon Cider ink. The above card has an Early Espresso Faux Suede Ribbon with punched Brushed Metallic circles.

Paper Dimensions:

Pale Papaya Base: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″

Cinnamon Cider 5 1/4″ x 4″

Very Vanilla 5″ x 3 3/4″

The circle stamp in the Textures & Frames stamp set is a bit smaller than the one in the Watercolor Shapes, and have fuzzier edges for a bit different look. The Textures & Frames stamp set also has the neat rectangular outline for the greeting. This card is finished off with Linen Thread and some Champagne Rhinestones.

Paper Dimensions:

Cinnamon Cider Cardbase 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ Scored at 4 1/4″

Early Espresso 5″ x 3 3/4″

Very Vanilla 4 3/4″ x 3 1/2″

So, which card do you prefer and why? Is it the circle stamps or the ribbon that makes you prefer one card over the other?
