Good Day in the Craft Room

It is a gloomy, wet and dreary kind of day here so I spent most of the it creating a couple of cards and spending time on the computer. It's just that kind of day.
It seems like it has been ages since I have joined in on any challenges or sketches so it was great to be able to play along today. I picked this sketch from Mojo Monday.
Here is their sketch for this week:

 

Here is my first card I made:

 I used a script background stamp on an ivory card base and Walnut Stain distress ink. I also inked the background with Antique Lace and the edges with Walnut Stain distress inks. I used watercolor paper and Victorian Velvet and Peeled Paint distress ink for the butterfly and flowers and misted the flowers with perfect pearls. I used the inks like watercolors by stamping the ink pads on my craft mat and spritzing a couple of times with water and mixing it with a paint brush. It was such fun painting that I wished I had more stamped images to paint.

 The lace around the border is from Stamping Up. I layered papers that matched the Victorian Velvet and Peeled Paint inks along with a dark brown cardstock scalloped border that had been left over from another project.

 I stamped the Papertrey Ink sentiment with Timber Brown Memento Ink on ivory cardstock and added pink pearls.
Here is my second card that is very similar:

 I used the same ink and paper colors except I didn't mist the flowers with perfect pearls.

 I used green pearls instead of pink on this card and roughed up and inked the edges of the border.

I also changed the sentiment and inked it with Antique Lace and Walnut Stain.

I really don't have a preference of one over the other. Well except maybe I like the pink pearls more than the green.

What about you? Do you like one card better than the other?
