Sorry about the difference in the picture tone. I'm going to blame that on the cloudy skies we have today. :) For the "after", I decided to add a base layer of Early Espresso. It felt so naked as a one layer and I felt like it needed some "heavy" to it. I also added clouds from my new Lil Inker Designs set called "Rainbow's & Clouds". The clouds are perforated and so cute! I just added a little Dazzling Diamonds to them and that's it. I really think the card looks better now..ok, maybe just to me lol..but that's my before and after. If you get a chance, please come over and play along with us. There are 2 challenges for June and you still have plenty of time to play along. Thanks for stopping by!

I remember loving the first one in the original post but WOW, I love this new one even more! Love the clouds in the new one. We are our biggest critic, aren't we...great challenge and you did a great job. :)

Keva, both cards a beautiful, but the sparkly clouds give the second one are just the thing! Great job with the challenge.
Wow, your simple changes really make a big difference, nice work!
Amazing the difference made by glittery clouds and a dark base to frame the panel. Great job reworking what seemed to be a perfectly good card in the first place! :)
I do like the sutle change of this card. It was wonderful before.
LOVE the added layer and those fun clouds! Everyone should get a chance at a "do-over" once in a while...great idea.
The first one was already great but I love the changes you made to it! The clouds do help to ground the balloons and I like the matted layer. Very nice!
I remember this card, Keva. I loved the flourish beneath the balloon. I love what you did with it as an "after" too! The sparkly clouds and the base layer of chocolate was a great choice to subtly add a little bit more interest and grounding to the original design. So glad you played along with my before and after challenge.
Both of them are beautiful. The clouds are a perfect touch though. :)
I loved the first card but those sparkly clouds just make me all weak in the knees! So wonderful girl!
the dark base really makes it all pop! nice work.
Both are great, Keva, but I really like the changes you made. It made a great card into a masterpiece!
