OWH Midweek Throwdown & OWH Sketch 55

I'm really liking the color challenge for this week's OWH Midweek Throwdown of red, white, blue and kraft.  I've made 2 more cards with that color combo!  The thank you cards also use OWH Sketch #55 - my favorite style - Clean and Simple. 


I posted both thank you cards in hopes of a little bit of feedback.  I instinctively like the one with the smaller brads, but I'm not sure "design-wise" the reason for that.  Is it proportion?  Wish I had taken more art classes when I was younger! 

I also did another card with the Eye Monster digi image from Hambo Stamps.  The OWH Saturday Seminar is still haunting me - Creating a Focal Point.  I played around with the Eye Monster card for quite a while because I wasn't doing a good job of having just one focal point.  Once I put the sentiment under the monster image, it seemed to be a much stronger focal point rather than when I had the image and sentiment in two different spots on the card.  Let me know how I did on that!

  4. i keep looking back and forth at these, and i can't decide which one i like better!! they both have the same clean, simple look, and the different sized brads just give them each its own unique look!!

    and i just love the little eyeball creature!!

  6. Cute cards, Allison! I think I like the large brads a little better, but it's cute both ways. Thanks for joining us in this week's OWH Stars & Stamps Sketch Challenge!
