Default Help me choose PLEASE

Hi everyone! I am having a contest for my customers this month and need to know which card is best. There were no rules, just to make a card.
We'll call number 1 the card with the frogs - it's hard to tell from this scan, but the stem of the mushroom and the yellow butterfly are both popped up and the dragonfly and the snail were clear embossed.
Number 2 is the blue and purple - the background is dry embossed and is blue and a VERY dark purple (almost black looking) and the striped mat is popped up.
Number 3 is the blue, yellow, and red - the first 2 flowers are punch outs adhered to the red background and the third is punched out of the red (hard to describe and see in the scan).

Well, I think the frog card! It obviously took a ton of effort, and it's very well executed. The others are good cards, too, but to me the "top" one is the frog! I have a fondness for frogs, so that may taint my judgment. :-)

I also think the frog card is the cutest. It looks like you put a lot of work and effort into it. I love the mushroom.

Froggie one took most effort but it looks a little "choppy" I think the cleanest cutest is #3

The 1st card is cute....but....cluttered. Too much happening there.....but.....fun.
I vote for #3. It's cheerful and well made.
#2 is embossed nicely on background.....but......looks like a first attempt.
Nice colours et al.
Yep, #3.
My humble opinion only.

I voted for #3. #1 looks cute, b ut seems a bit over done IMO. I'm sure it was a ton of work for her with all of the detail, but as others have said it's just a bit over the top. If the contest was for who could use the most supplies in one card, she'd toadally ;) win. lol

I think #1 is just so adorable. It's so unique and I really love "different" cards like that. A lot of thought went into all the details.

Although I think #1 is cute as can be, and took a lot of time and effort, it's too busy for a small card. I went with #3.

Smile Froggy card is my fav!

I love the card although if I had made that same design the colors would have been different (more natural or bold one or the other) and not as "cluttered feeling." But it still got my vote! :mrgreen:

The second card looks like a lot of work due to the embossing but just doesn't look like an experienced card maker made it. It actually looks just like something my DD would make and I love it b/e of that. ;)

The third card is the cleanist looking card and looks like an experienced card maker that chose that design to reproduce many cards quickly. :-D


Hugs from Germany!

I thought #1 was too busy. #3 stands out. It is simple, but well designed.

I think #1 is a bit cluttered for my taste, although you can tell it took the artist lots of time to create - I picked #2 b/c I like the colors best
