This or That Thursday - Changing Leaves

Hello, now is the day for you to choose your favourite card. No pressure of course, that is of obviously dependant on if you like any of them! Using the Changing Leaves dies, embossing folder and stamps today, I started with pieces of A6 white card and a large F sized Stampin' Up! Acrylic Block.

Then for THIS card, using Stampin' Up Marker pens, I scribbled lots of circles and lines and basically just had fun scribbling! Once I had covered the block with ink, I woke it up with a good shower from a Spritzer. I gave it really good soak and the colours all turned into lots of bubbles. Then, I added the pieces of white card on top of the blocks and allowed the paper to soak up all of the colour. I repeated it a several times as I wanted to die cut out all of the pieces of patterned paper. I used my heat gun to dry them all as I'm too impatient to wait! Then I started going to town and die cut all of the small leaves in the die set. They came out really well and using an A4 sheet of white card, I adhered them in a cross shape of North, South, East and West across the paper. When the glue had dried I chopped them all into A6 pieces. So, 10cm by 14.4cm or 4" by 5,13/16th" I am sure that you have different measurements outside the UK so use those instead!

All 4 cards for THIS

I didn't make the one card as you may have guessed as I got 4 card fronts from the A4 piece. Yes, I made a set of 4 very similar cards and the other card,  my THAT card, is different again.

THAT 
So my THAT card is another one this time in a Lost Lagoon card base. I started with an embossed mat in the Changing Leaves embossing folder and a strip of Lost Lagoon about 4cm wide by the length of the white card mat. I stamped 4 of the smaller leaf in memento onto some scraps of white card and then proceeded to use my Stampin Blends to colour them in. I used of course the Lost Lagoon blends pens. I fussy cut all four out and then cut them in down the centre. I adhered each piece to the back of the central bar in Lost Lagoon and added them onto the card base. I did emboss the Lost Lagoon bar too by the way. I stamped the sentiment and die cut it out and added the last leaf to the back of the sentiment bar too. 
That was it. 
Please let me know which you like? Will it be the set of 4 THIS cards or the single THAT card in Lost Lagoon?
