I agree that the second smaller sentiment looks better. However, as some others have mentioned, I wonder if moving the larger sentiment down so that the y was nesting in the leaves would have made the look more cohesive and offset the bigness (technical term) of the happy birthday. That being said, as you say, nobody’s going to look at the first card and have their whole birthday ruined because a sentiment wasn’t quite right. The thought and the effort mean just as much if not more than the final project.
Both are lovely. I think the bigger sentiment would have looked better positioned a little further down, leaving more white space at the top. More integrated I guess. However as you say: there are no mistakes in crafting! Just opportunities to add glitter, I mean learn and keep on creating 😉
Agreed. I don't necessarily think the stamp was too big, but should have been positioned lower, as the stamp on the second card was. The balance was off, not the size of the stamp. Either way, they're both lovely cards and most people wouldn't notice if it hadn't been pointed out.
Both cards are beautiful, but I agree that the overall ‘balance’ of the second, orange toned card is more appealing. Thank you for the continued inspiration Natasha, I look forward to your posts immensely. 😊
I think with the first, the sentiment just needed to be placed lower to be visually connected to the image, just like the second card accomplished. The concept of both cards are lovely and I will try it out. Thanks for the inspiration.
I love the orange one. I also really like the large sentiment on the blue one, but I agree with Caroline Bredeson that it would have been more effective positioned lower on the card. Great job Natasha. I love your ideas.
I like the colors of the second card, but the sentiment on the first card. I have a problem with a lot of white space, when I do it, it always looks unfinished to me, so I start filling in!! Love the fonts on both cards
If you had only shown the first card (Happy Birthday), I would haven’t thought anything was amiss with its design. However, when you displayed the second card, the difference in the size and placement of the sentiment and it’s subsequent balance in the design was obvious and was much more pleasing than the first. I loved how you used both cards to teach us that size, balance, rhythm does make a difference in the finale product. Keep up the good work! I so enjoy learning from you!
I love both cards Natasha,but the blue is my favourite,the only thing I would have done is put a couple of black enamel dots at the bottom right hand side💐🌺❤️xx
The curvy Birthday sentiment goes nicely with the curves of the leaves. The Thank You is a nice contrast of solid straight lines vs curly leaves. Both are great!
Your eye is exactly right. The smaller sentiment looks so much better. I think with the stick it adhesive & the extra cardstock the blue card might also be more costly. Love the look of both though.
hi Natasha. I have missed quite a few videos but I am back now. and what a gorgeous video to come back into. I really like both cards. they are both appealing in their own way. thank you Natasha 😊 x
I like both cards. I do like the leaves with several layers of cardstock a tiny bit more, although using foam tape is a bit faster. I also think the happy birthday stamp would look better if stamped a bit lower. But honestly I believe many recipients will love either one. Thank you for keeping both cards in the video 👍
I really can't choose - I would be happy to get or give either one. Most of your cards have an elegance and classic simplicity that I just love and it inspires me to keep my cards the same way.
I think both look the same! I do love the sentiment and colors of the brighter card the most! Maybe I'm hoping for some autumn weather! 85°F here in Florida today!
I keep all my ‘mistakes’ every year on so if they are still around I go thru them and sometimes I’ll get a great idea how to get them to the next level. Otherwise, don’t judge me, I use them for those not so favorite relatives 😮
Love them both. The stamps are both delicate and fine print. Not bold or thick/heavy print. So I love both. Well done. Thanks for all your wonderful ideas. I get excited when your next video is released. You just full of surprises. I've learned so much.
I thought the blue card was beautiful and perfect, until you put them side-by-side which made me agree with you about the size of the sentiment. Both gorgeous gorgeous cards that anyone would be thrilled to receive I’m sure!
I never thought of using those straight border dies that way, and I have several of them that were just taking up space in my stash - sometimes the most obvious answer is the one that eludes us! Thanks for that tip :)
I agree with you. Also the mustard seed looks lighter than peacock feathers....less contrast and perhaps more white space in the warm tones one? I like your design.
I think that they are both very good. I got that die this past spring on your recommendation and I have to make an anniversary card very soon. I am going to try and do this technique. Tfs
I love the fall color one and think I will be doing it with watercolor and some maple leaves die. You can leave the leaves out and make two extra cards with the colored leaves on a white card for a gift set. Put some foil flocks on the white if you don't like a stark white backing. Make the diecut be used like the start of a shaker card.
I love them both! Balance can make a difference, but unless you're sending it to another seasoned card maker, it matters not! As always, I appreciate your tips and tricks. Blessings!
I LOVE both of them! So much fun! And your cards are always so clever! TFS!

They are both gorgeous. Your work is always superb. Thank you for sharing this technique in two ways ❤️🧡💛
I liked both the cards. But like you, I liked having more of the white showing , so the Thank you card was my favorite. Beautiful job.
Love both Natasha I love all your cards! just beautiful! thank you for sharing your talent.
i like the larger sentiment. it fills the space.
Absolutely gorgeous all of them , it would be interesting to see them with gold leafs too 😀 xxx
I prefer the larger sentiment and colours....lovely. THanks for sharing Natasha
Yes, the orange one follows the 2/3 - 1/3 general rule so well and looks more balanced. Do I still love the blue one too? Yep 😊
Love them both, Natasha. I'd call them both a success. Thanks for sharing
🥰luv both cards. Wouldn't change anything. Tyfs🥰

Lovely cards, I prefer the 2nd one with the smaller sentiment too. Thanks as always for the inspiration.
Both cards are great and beautiful. Thank you for showing.
Like them both, but love the yellow one more and the way the sentiment is a smaller one. you always have great videos. Thank you!!!!!
I think they are both beautiful cards!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Love both! Don’t see a ‘mistake’ anywhere
Love your cards Natasha. I would pick the red/orange if I had to have a choice. Thank you once again for sharing
They are both beautiful cards, Natasha, no mistakes here! Your ink blending is lovely, I aspire to be that good at it!
They are both great! The orange one is a pretty colour like a sunrise!
Both gorgeous. Thank you very much for sharing once again. Take care and stay safe.
I love the orange one. I also really like the large sentiment on the blue one, but I agree with Caroline Bredeson that it would have been more effective positioned lower on the card. Great job Natasha. I love your ideas.
LOVE them both!! Beautiful cards Tasha
Beautiful cards as always Natasha. I like them both but I prefer the larger sentiment. Yvonne
Beautiful cards. As others said, when shown side by side, the thank you seems to have a better balance. But they're both lovely!! TFS!
Tash, theycae both just gorgeous! I'd be happy to receive either of them!
I like the colors of the second card, but the sentiment on the first card. I have a problem with a lot of white space, when I do it, it always looks unfinished to me, so I start filling in!! Love the fonts on both cards
I really love both of these cards. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Natasha, I prefer the second one too although I would love to receive both ,TFS have a lovely evening 💛🧡🤎
Hi Natasha, I think they are both great. Thanks so much. 😊🇨🇦

They are both lovely, but I agree with you about the sentiment looking better on the warm colored one.
Gorgeous cards. I prefer the 2nd one. Maybe add a few white splatters to link up the leaves to the white space?
The curvy Birthday sentiment goes nicely with the curves of the leaves. The Thank You is a nice contrast of solid straight lines vs curly leaves. Both are great!
I like both. Really like orange colors more ,Into fall colors right now it's all around here. Thanks for sharing as always
Your eye is exactly right. The smaller sentiment looks so much better. I think with the stick it adhesive & the extra cardstock the blue card might also be more costly. Love the look of both though.
I like them both but I think you are right. The smaller one looks better. Great video, again!
What a fun technique, love the colors…thank you!
love them both, the blue one could be for a male. Thanks for showing this.
hi Natasha. I have missed quite a few videos but I am back now. and what a gorgeous video to come back into. I really like both cards. they are both appealing in their own way. thank you Natasha 😊 x
I like them both. Thanks for sharing!😊
They BOTH look great!😍
Both of them are very pretty! I can't decide on a favorite.

Thanks!
I like them both but I like the larger Happy Birthday better.
I really can't choose - I would be happy to get or give either one. Most of your cards have an elegance and classic simplicity that I just love and it inspires me to keep my cards the same way.
I love watching you. You give us so much information to understand.
Really like the happy birthday card the best. But I would happily send or receive either!
I think both look the same! I do love the sentiment and colors of the brighter card the most! Maybe I'm hoping for some autumn weather! 85°F here in Florida today!
The second one is stunning! 😊
These are both beautiful, but I have to say I think the amaller text looks better. Thanks for showing both ideas.
I keep all my ‘mistakes’ every year on so if they are still around I go thru them and sometimes I’ll get a great idea how to get them to the next level. Otherwise, don’t judge me, I use them for those not so favorite relatives 😮
Haha, me too!
Amazing what an inch lower placement did for this design. Great lesson, Natasha!
Love them both. The stamps are both delicate and fine print. Not bold or thick/heavy print. So I love both. Well done. Thanks for all your wonderful ideas. I get excited when your next video is released. You just full of surprises. I've learned so much.
Those colors are beautiful! Great hack for not having the right size die! I like them both!
Love this technique! Agree smaller sentiment unless maybe you moved the other down & right slightly
I like both, they are gorgeous, thanks for sharing x
I thought the blue card was beautiful and perfect, until you put them side-by-side which made me agree with you about the size of the sentiment. Both gorgeous gorgeous cards that anyone would be thrilled to receive I’m sure!
Natasha, I like both, but I do think the small sentiment looks the best!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
I like the ‘Thank You’ card best!
I like to do this technique by just cutting the die from fun foam. It’s quite interesting in a contrasting colour.
I love both, I personally prefer the larger sentiment 😊
Both cards are great! Thank you!
Both cards are beautiful!
I never thought of using those straight border dies that way, and I have several of them that were just taking up space in my stash - sometimes the most obvious answer is the one that eludes us! Thanks for that tip :)
I like them both Natasha. The overall designs are lovely. Clean and simple as you say.
Love the colors you used!
Love both of them!
I absolutely love this card. It's such an easy technique but it looks so elegant. Good job again, Natasha!
Beautiful cards Tash, I love them both but like the more formal style word better.TFS.x
Both lovely, the ink blend is so good, no 2 for me 😊
I like both of these lovely cards. The Sentiment in the blue card is a better fit I think. Your ink blending is gorgeous and I love the colours. 💙
Beautifully blended cards
I love warm colors, but the larger sentiment looks fine 🙂
I love both cards. They are different but each one is lovely. There wasn't a mistake. :)
I love both designs!
I like them both very much. The large sentiment is great
Really love them both!
Natasha! Beautiful cards. I love both of them. Thank you for sharing.❤

They're both look amazing
Second card was my fave. Great cards.
They are both absolutely lovely!!! TFS!! 😊🍃🍂

Beautiful cards both
Both are beautiful! 💕🇦🇺
l can't choose, both are similar but different and very very pretty! You're encouraging my mojo to return, thank you 😊
I learn so much from you! Thanks for sharing!
I love them both! Balance can make a difference, but unless you're sending it to another seasoned card maker, it matters not! As always, I appreciate your tips and tricks. Blessings!
Beautiful cards Natasha!!! Thank you for sharing 💖
I like them both... but you are right, the smaller sentiment leaves more of the white showing which is your blending color.
