Sister Act Challenge #28

Digi Stamps 4 Joy, a South African company is our sponsor this week at the Sister Act Challenge Blog. I am using one of their images called Thanksgiving Topiary.  This is my second attempt.  My first one was in more traditional fall colors.  I'm not sure if I was uninspired that night, but it looked a little, "Meh," so I tried a different color palette. I took the colors from some old Cosmo Cricket paper,  planning to use it in the background - but the image was too big.  Something about this has a holiday feel, so I decided to use it for a friend with a December birthday.

Here's my fall colors version.  It may still end up on a card, who knows!

Which one do you like better?

Play along with our Anything Goes Challenge - I'm looking forward to seeing your creations!

Use it Tuesday - Scraps, Pieces, Odds & Ends (last snowflake button, already created birthday tag, paper behind the image)

    Stunning card! I think both coloring look great but anyway I like the completed one better; the leaves have nice blended soft blues and simply makes the fruits highlighted. So what do you use to recycle for the background? The polka dots look lovely. Thank you for playing along with us at DigiStamps4Joy and we hope to see you again.

    I like the one in the traditional Fall colours, Cathy, it's beautifully coloured and would look great on a card with coordinating papers but your Winter version is GLORIOUS! A beautiful card! Hugs, Lesley

    Gorgeous card...I like both as I really like the fall colours. Maybe adding a little bit of crystal effects or glitter to it will brighten it up enough for you so that you don't feel it's so "meh". But for me, they're both gorgeous and I'm sure your friend will love it. Thanks for playing in our challenge at Digistamps4Joy! Good luck and we hope to see you again.
