Confession time.
I sat down to create a simple card for a group of ladies to make during a "Creativity For A Cause" event. If you don't know what that is, head HERE to find out.
I could not, for the life of me, decide which card to teach them.
And here's the confession. I do that A LOT!
So, help me decide!
Which of these two cards do you like better? Leave me a comment.
You would think, after 15 years of creating thousands of paper crafting projects, that I could make a simple decision.
Nope!
So, help a girl out…which one?

Lisa…I like them both but #1 is my favorite. Love the color wonder note cards. You show us a lot of inspiration. Thank you! Sheila
Thank you for commenting, Sheila. I think I’m leaning towards #1, too but I want to get more input. 🙂 Thanks for commenting.
Definitely the first one. The second one is certainly pretty, but it has a lot of green so it may turn off folks who aren’t fond of green. Beautiful projects.
Meg, that’s why I’m leaning towards the first one, too. I’m not overly fond of green but several people I’ve showed the card to, in person, have chosen the second one. They like green! 🙂 Thanks for commenting. This certainly helps.
Number 1 definitely! I like the way the flowers cascade. I never make a GREEN card for someone who is ill.
Wow, good point about using “green” for someone that is ill. Never thought of that. Thank you for commenting, Margaret.
I like the first one. The second would be really pretty if the card it’s self was a light blue, not green. I do like green but Margaret is right. No green for the ill.
I like the green one because it has a softer look. I feel the other one is a little too stark with the white and yellow. However, I like the way the white highlights the flowers. The yellow one is a better “feel better” card, and the green one is a good “thinking of you” card.
Thanks, Connie & Kim. I love hearing other people’s opinions because it explains things, often times I can’t put into words. Kim, you’re right, I think it’s the greeting that would make the green card better. 🙂 Thanks for commenting ladies!
I don’t care for #1 at all. I like the green one. I don’t like the white oval interrupting the pattern. Let me sponge it with the colours in the base, it could grown on me. That said, I’m not a big fan of the Watercolor Wonder suite at all. Just not my thing.
I like them both very much, but since you made your Easter card with the yellow card, maybe the green would be nice to share at you class. It’s hard sometimes, to decide which colors to use. Stampin’ Up!’s colors are wonderful.
Green is perfect for the ill. Remember Lucy and her case of the gobluts? She WAS green! lol.
Both cards are pretty in their own way. My favorite tho is the yellow one. I love the way the oval draws the eye to the flowers. Maybe the green cards needs the sentiment stamped in a darker color. it sort of gets lost with all the green.
Wow! Thank you all for commenting. There’s nothing better than feedback…especially from my crafty friends! Susan, your comment about Lucy made me laugh! Martha, I tried a darker green for the greeting and it really didn’t appeal to me at all.
So far, the yellow card is “winning”. 🙂
Since I am a yellow person I would go for card #1. Softer looking, and yellow is a happier color than green…..in my opinion.
I am totally a green person, so with that in mind, love the green, but love the yellow as well. Both are wonderful. Helped a lot, didn’t I. That’s just the kind of friend I am. You are welcome. “)
Ohhh, Hillary, you make me smile…ALL THE TIME! Thanks for commenting. I certainly appreciate the feedback from my creative friends.
