Holly #2

Hi and welcome back to my room .. this is my second post tonight but  it's with an edited version of the last card in previous post . 
Please scroll down after this and see the difference . let me know what YOU  think.
I am going to enter this one also in the 'Off The Page'  challenge by http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.com/


Now to explain .When I made the first card I inked  and stamped the holly first, coloured some of the berries red ,  then  added  the sentiment in green as well . I thought straight away that there was no life in the card so I added the bells in different colours . GRRRR ! I knew , I just knew I was not happy with that . Thankfully some suggestions were made and I tried again . Hope this is ok to do this way .
Don't forget to check my first post for the day .
Catch you again soon , Cheers for now , Shirley-Anne.

  6. This is lovely as well and maybe I prefer the simplicity of this to the first one. But both are great.

  10. Hi Shirley Ann! It is so hard to make a one layer card that still has that spark to make it interesting !! I like your second one best- the red sentiment that brings out the red berries is enough to give it that bit extra! As Mandi said..good on you for giving it another go!
