Shabby vs Clean

Today's share is one card made two ways.  The first being shabby chic the second being crisp and clean.  Which do you like better?  I still can't decide..I like both!! 

The card is a simple layout using only one stamp, the greeting.  The base card is Very Vanilla which is embossed with the Big Shot using the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder.  I added some color using the new In Color Calypso Coral (Love it!).  Then I added the focus of the card, the greeting framed with the new Designer Frames Embossing Folders.  I used the oval frame and I just love it!  It works perfectly with the Extra Large Oval Punch.  The finishing touch was a few flowers made with the retired Triple Flower Punch.  Here's closer look at the clean version.


And here's a close up of the shabby version.

Which do you prefer??  I love that it is a beautiful card that you can use for just about anything!  Just change the greeting and you're set for any occasion!

If you'd like to make your own version of this card, you can visit my Demonstrator Business Website HERE and shop for supplies.

Thanks for stopping by! 
If it doesn't move...stamp it!!

Normally I am more of a clean and simple stamper; however, on this particular card I really like both versions...no help here!

I love your shabby chic version. I really love the way the frame turns out torn.

From all the e-mail and blog comments that I've received, it's about 50/50 on which one people prefer!
