Stamped Birthday Cards By The Decade!

Hello friends!


I am popping in to share one of the cards that I made with Cool Decades Stamp Set.  Today's card was my first take with this stamp set. However, I didn't like the color placement, so I did my 2nd take. So, this card below was my 2nd take/a re-do, so to speak. 

Altenew-Cool Decades Stamp Set-001

However, I think my first take still has some good merits and therefore, I think might serve a learning purpose. So, for the sake of sharing and learning, here it is! 

60s -001

What I love about this card is that I stamped the sentiment onto the the "Speech Bubble" image. I then cut it out and popped it up. This gives the card some fun and cute element. 

60s

What I didn't love are the color distribution of the image. The browns are on the right side and the orange on the other. Aesthetically, it didn't look symmetrical and pleasing to the eyes. When it comes to CAS card, these must be taken into account

This is a card analysis post and I hope you enjoy the share! I'd love to know if you enjoy seeing this type of posts. I will keep them in mind and hopefully, I will share more!

Think you may have been too hard on yourself because of the color placement on the first card. I think it adds interest and follows the funkiness of the 60s. However, I don't have your unerring eye for design. Like them both.

I agree with your assessment of the first card, Virginia, but it's still a fun card - love the sentiment!! Love the second card!

Both cards are great! Love the vintage look of all the stamp set and all the cool sentiments.

I don't think the first card looks bad at all, though I do prefer the second card coloring. Both sentiments looks great too.
