I just added one more layer, changing the size of the main panel with my sentiment. The first one just wasn't setting right with me...I didn't see myself actually giving it to someone. I think just the one addition of a patterned paper added a lot. Hope you agree.

I love both of them! Especially the silver ribbon and charm! Adorable (said in a French accent!). It really doesn't look like you struggled at all as this is fabulous
I think they're both fabulous! Although I can understand why you are happier with this one, the contrast between the focal panel and the dark patterned paper is much more stark and lifts the focal panel a little more but like I said, I think they're both amazing!! I'm glad you're happier now though - there's nothing worse!

Fabulous, Nicole....I love how you made your own background paper with those lovely leaves! And that bow/flower combo is delightful! Thanks for helping us celebrate our 5th anniversary at Verve!

I'm not able to pick a favorite because I think they are both beautiful! I like how you did the background stamping with the leaves, and the ribbon, rose and tag combo gives your anniversary card that special "love" touch.
