This or That Thursday lovely and Sweet

 Same card but with 2 very different feels to them today. It's  been said before but I'll say it again colour is a powerful tool. But in the case of today's inspiration It's the use of metalic vs colour. The colour palette I have used comes from the pattern paper that coordinates with the Lovely and Sweet stamps and dies. The paper is called Nature's Sweetness and is so very elegant.

The first card uses white and a soft shade of grey called pebbled path. The texture comes from an embossing folder that is fast becoming a favourite.  It's one of a triple pack called Basics 3d embossing folders.  This one give a fantastic subtle texture. All in all a very monochromatic and elegant look.

The second version has a very different vibe due to the addition of the gold foil.  The Nature's Sweetness double sided papers have gold foil details on one side which definitely amps up the elegance. 

As always the inside of each card needs a little something something to elevate it.  All you need are scraps of the materials used onbthe front of your card . This completes the look and gives a well finished look to your work.

So which do you frefer? This with it's crisp monochromatic look? Or That with the  sumptuous addition of gold?
