I was super-critical of that earlier version as I just wasn't happy with the layout, proportions, placement of sentiment, etc. So I had to make another one and figure out what worked better for this stamp. I'm really happy with today's version.
I used a different sentiment stamp as it fit better than the one that came with the bird stamp. Also the image worked really well for a square card. And I like the wider border between the black and the outer edges of the card.
Thanks for looking at something so similar to two days ago!

Susan, this is wonderful and truthfully, I love both versions! Love the soft blue you created for the background, something I have not done. Your coloring is beautiful and love the bold colors you chose!

Susan, I looked at your earlier version...and I agree with you. This card is well-balanced. It is colored beautifully and has a vintage feeling with the stamp that you used.....especially the holly.
