I prefer II. It has a looser, more artful style to it.

Default Watercolor Sets
Funny! I started out with the Watercolor Garden II set and waited forever to get Watercolor Garden. I've been having the time of my life with it.

I love both and couldn't really choose. I always check out all the samples before I purchase a set. Whichever set I save the most samples to "case" is the one I'd go with.

I have them both and use them both, but if I could only have one I would take Water color garden. I like the words in that set

Default Wow, I think I have to get more stamps--can you believe it??
I have the first WG set, and I absolutly love it :!: I have used it more than any other stamp set than I own. It is so versitile and everything you make with it looks good. I thought WG II was so similar, that I wouldn't bother to get it. I got on this thread to boast the glories of the first set!

BUT, after reading the glowing reports on the second set, I think I have to go shopping---DARN

I'm with the majority, I love 2. I have sold so many sets by taking it to workshops.

Wow, I have both and NEVER use II! I don't like the flowers as much.

But I agree with StampinMomof3, I desest the curved stem.. So I usually take the stem out of two.

I'll be heading over now to the gallery to see what the fuss is over II!

I got WCG 1 about a year before WCG 2. I really like WCG 1 better. There are SO many stamps with that set - several different kinds of flowers - more than iwth WCG 2. Also, there's that great sentiment - 2 doesn't have a sentiment. WCG 2 is more like Terrific Tulips w/ the two-step stamping. I love the leaves in 1 and I think they're much easier to use.

Check out the gallery of both and see which samples appeal to you more!

I love Watercolor Garden I !!! I just love the sentiment in that set and I use it often, even with other sets for my focus.
