I cased one of the Happy Watercolor cards in the Occasions Mini and was surprised to find that it just didn’t look “right.” I had used a 1/2 sheet of Whisper White – and the card in the mini was on a notecard (31/2 x 5). So I thought I’d show you the difference.
Supplies
Stamp Set – Happy Watercolor
Card stock – Whisper White, Tangerine Tango, So Saffron
Ink – Pool Party, Smokey Slate, Versamark
Etc – Gold embossing powder
Actually, I think I used Basic Gray on the smaller card! So which look do you like best? Hugs, Fran
Thanks for the info and comparison. It really makes a difference for how a card looks. I personally like the Smoky Slate better. Love your stampin style!
It really does make a difference on the size! I cased a card once and did the same as you by not realizing it was on the smaller notecards.
Thank you for sharing. This is very pretty!
I like the effect on the smaller size better because the proportions fit the white space. It’s probably me, but I can’t see the Basic Gray, or is the Card Stock Smoky Slate? Nevertheless, thanks for the comparison. I appreciate your blog and love your style! Nancy B
Thanks Nancy – the Gray is the flower stem and outline of the flower. It is really hard to tell! Hugs, Fran
I like the smaller size cards. I often change up the size from the regular 4.25×5.5. I think many designs work better with a smaller size such as the one you did here. And I really think making 3×3 cards is so much fun!!!!
I agree! It’s fun to do little designs. (Not to mention fast!) Hugs, Fran
I liked the first one then saw 2nd one the size did make a difference that I didn’t realize thank you
