Stepping up means to make it "more". The card on the left is fine, but when you add more interest to the card it makes it more.
Stepped up points:
adorning accents edgelits and folder for the cut
piercing
colored centers on the flowers
sponged edges of the flowers
use of dimensionals
2-tone sentiment
Thanks for looking. Susie

OMG Susie, I absolutely LOVE your stepped up Field Flowers card. I love how you used your framelits and folder with the piece of beautiful DSP. Also your popped up word looks just great. I have not done that for awhile. Thanks for the reminder.
Your card is popping right into my favs. TFS
I do love the popped up flowers and the embossed edge.
(Actually the embossing folder is on my wish list.)
The extra work certainly takes the card to another level.
Thanks for the tips. Your card is just beautiful!
