This or That Thursday Light the Sky

 Today's cards are inspired by my eldest daughter.  When she was just 2 the Seoul Olympics took place. She watched in wonder at the beautiful fireworks at the opening and closing ceremonies.  She was enchanted by what she called the "fire flowers" 🎆🎇. So for today's inspiration I've used the Light the Sky stamps to create flowers.

I started out by stamping my "flowers" onto a plain white mat. After using lots of bold colours this week I decided to use a subtler palette for my first card. After stamping onto the mat I also stamped onto a piece of scrap cardstock one of the flowers. 

I used the Coordinating light the sky dies to cut this single flower out. I then embossed the stamped panel with an embossing folder called distressed tile 3d.  

I then added a small mat of green cardstock behind the panel and added a sparkley ribbon bow and some shiny sequins and the card front was done.

Now I  just had to make a bolder version using stronger shades of the same pinks and greens.

I also couldn't let the insides get left out so stamped,  matted and layered and adhered them to the inside of the cards. 

So now I am in a quandary which do I prefer? The soft gentle version? Or the bolder one?

Which do you prefer? 🤔
