I do like both cards though and I think it is because I love the beautiful focal point of those folk art inspired doves.<br />Hugs<br />Carol xInkyfingershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03726907612383132666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414712982225283033.post-55871817500151708382017-07-23T11:49:26.714-07:002017-07-23T11:49:26.714-07:00This is fabulous!

The embossed design resonates the theme in your focal point...and the focal point presents itself to the foreground "peacefully". :D cleliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454303636244631390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414712982225283033.post-82724409464335732282017-07-22T16:20:25.128-07:002017-07-22T16:20:25.128-07:00I hardly ever use DSP and I don't use embossin...I hardly ever use DSP and I don't use embossing folders very often either. I still have lots of both, though. Maybe we can figure out a technique or two that uses DSP. Something to think about. As for the embossing folders, I still like to have them because I do like the embossing folder stamping technique, although I haven't done it a lot. I need to keep a list of techniques as a reminder because there are so many that we have done over the past few years and tend to forget about some of them. :) Hope that helps. As for your cards ... I like the embossing folder version better. Probably because I am partial to white backgrounds. :) xx<br />Lollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15327427055906881318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414712982225283033.post-8001752046511331782017-07-22T16:15:08.110-07:002017-07-22T16:15:08.110-07:00They are both pretty, but I do like the more CAS ...They are both pretty, but I do like the more CAS 2nd card the best. I have given away much of my DSP, but still have plenty. I have not bought any new DSP for a couple of years, so that is a plus. I am sure someone at your sale will love your cards though. TFS and reminding me of my older style of cards too. Hugs..P.S. I still love stamping in white on kraft paper even if I do not do it very often and love your dove layers.nancy littrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15827452699313611828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414712982225283033.post-67977330458424274242017-07-22T15:56:06.894-07:002017-07-22T15:56:06.894-07:00I like the embossing folder better.

I still love them though. Love your doves, especially the second one on the darker cardstock!

I'm with you on the DP, I really struggle to use it now that we have all learned to make our own beautiful coloured backgrounds.
