Two of the same?

Unsually, I had made the same card twice! But as any crafter will tell you, no two handmade work is 100% the same.
I used DCWV Street Lace pack, which has beautiful coordinated papers. The lace, black dragonflies and glittered flower designs of the paper sets the look of the card. I only had to add a flower, ribbons and sentiments.
This is the original card

A good friend had admired it, and since her birthday was just around the corner, I decided to make her the same card. Here is the 2nd card.
I had used the exact same paper, but added a second flower (I handmade all the flowers). I also added some black 'tendrils' using wires.


There is glitter on the flower petals and on the black tendrils too.

For the inside, I always choose to follow the feel and theme from the front of the card. Not only does this make it effortless, it also gives completeness and 'together-ness' to the card.
