If At First You Don't Succeed...

Reminder:  check here to see if you were my blog candy winner!

This weekend I was working on the Viva La Verve sketch challenges.  My first card was this one...while it is okay, I just wasn't thrilled with it.  
And here was my second try a day later...I'm entering this both over at the Viva La Verve Challenge and at the Moxie Fab Felt Challenge.  I like this one a ton better.  The Verve loopy flower cuts the felt so smoothly and I love the sentiment from the Verve Words of Wisdom set.

Hi Lynn
They are both great but I agree the second is the best. And I love the words on this cardagain these really make you reflect. I like the felt flowers-something else I need to try

Oooo...like 'em both. The scalloped ribbon is a nice touch on the first card and I like the funky feel on the second card.

Both are so pretty, but I do love the misted background on the second one! The loopy flowers are super cute, too!

Congrats on your ColourQ win!

I love the spray mist! I've done that technique lots on layouts, but never on cards... you've inspired me to try something new!
