Default In Full Bloom or Etruscan???

Okay, I'm driving myself crazy. When Etruscan first came out, I didn't like it but every time I look at it now, I think of the possibilities.... I've always liked In Full Bloom but I do have DD Daisy and will be getting paint prints from sellebration. I can't afford to go crazy...so, which do you all prefer??javascript:emoticon('')

Hands down In Full Bloom with the wheel. It is so pretty when you watercolor it! HTH!

Of those two - IFB! It's newer & will be available longer. But if you're looking for a floral set, consider Petal Prints if you can find it (you KNOW it's going to be in the next catalog!)

I have both and have not even used my Etruscan yet. I've used In Full Bloom a jillion times! I was just looking at Etruscan today and will be decided to start using it 'cause it IS pretty!
I just checked the gallery and there are 50 pictures posted for Etruscan and 1,070 for In Full Bloom! That should tell you something! Have fun with whatever you get!

I borrowed a friends In Full Bloom set for a week and had so much fun making cards and dominoes that I changed my whole order for my demo a couple weeks ago to order the set and the matching wheel!! It is a great set!!

I have In Full Bloom and I use it all the time. I too have considered Etruscan, but only because of the deer. My dh works for John Deere and I would use it to make cards for his employees (for the holidays, thank yous, etc...) But I don't know if I would use it much more than that.

remember, that no matter what we all think, it depends on your personal style. Just because you find more samples of one over the other doesn't mean one is a better set than the other. You didn't say if you were a demo or not. That may make a difference too on if you think you would use one set and then if it retires be frustrated because you can no longer use it in your demos.

In Full Bloom is my favorite set....right now. There are so many things you can do with that set. I myself would like to get Etruscan someday.

Default thanks for the input!

I liked IFB from the very beginning, so I know I can't go wrong with that!
Thanks for the opinions and helping me make up my mind!

Jumpin' on the IFB bandwagon. The bar stamp in the set is my absolute fave.

Default I vote IFB

I never use my Etruscan -- hey wait -- maybe I sold it! I bought it, just had to have it and used it for one swap.

In full bloom on the other hand, has been used quite a bit since I rec'd it. Not even a close call for me!

Uh, I hope you're getting "In Full Bloom!" It's new and there are so many cool ideas for it out there!

In Full Bloom hands down... I use my aqua painters with it and use Simple Shapes to "spotlight" it so not so much coloring!!
