As I was preparing this week's Technique, How to video I stamped a card for the bonus tip. When I was showing my hubby and daughter they suggested I change the card base (not going to tell you what the base color was yet). I couldn't decided which I liked better and told Tom I was going to post it to my blog.
This morning the first thing he said to me was, "which one did your blog readers like?" I told him I hadn't posted it yet, I realized he is very curious (maybe he just wants to be right for once, LOL). So will my original card be your favorite or Tom's. Leave a comment which one is your favorite and I will let you know Thursday - who's is who's!

White base =)
I like the white base. The black is a bit overpowering. But I really like the one on the right.

I like the white one better. Very nice card
Yup white base 🙂 Great card!
Nope, definitely the black base–everything just pops with that color!
I like them both but I’m curious what the card would look like with 1/4″ wider black on the white base or the white front 1/4″ wider on the black base. That would make the black not as bold on the black base and give the white base a bit more black contrast. I vote for the black base! Thanks for asking for our favorite!
The black base, makes the green really POP!
I really like the black.
I like the black base the best – it really enhanced the card and just pops the green. I think you could also put black behind the sentiment to make that pop more too, and have just a black edge showing. Beautiful card though!
The white base.
The black is best!
I prefer the white base. Thank you. They are both beautiful!
I like the white base best.
I like the black – personally I think the white card seems a little washed out.
I like the white base.
I like the black, makes the center piece pop!
I have to say I’d have made this card, which is great btw, but I love the black behind it!!!!
Oops! I’d have made it with the white base bit prefer the black – it’s just so much nicer 🙂
I prefer the black.
My first comment was the white base, and then as I studied it, wondered what a narrow white mat would do on the black base. They are both beautiful cards, or a narrow green mat under the black mat on the white base.
P.S. You know you’ve been on Facebook when you wish you had “Like” buttons to click to agree with others. I like/agree with SueEllen B. and Debra….
I ALWAYS carry a piece of black cardstock to see what a card that is questionable looks like on it….and there is a very rare card that doesn’t look better on black. I am voting black. Can’t wait to hear how this goes down!
The black base makes everything just pop. My eye was drawn to that one first.
I like the black.
The black one is my favorit.
Black, tho’ both are lovely.
I prefer the black base
Black base…the inked image looks a little darker on the white and I like that but not sure if it is because of the colour of the bases or just inked lighter…so black base with the white card’s image LOL (What can i say I am a Libra and like to keep everyone happy!
For me, the black base really makes it stand out and gives it that little something extra. Both cards are really nice and you won’t go wrong with either.
I love the black
I also liked both of them, but prefer the black base.

White one!
Of these two cards I really like the black best but I personally tend to make cards that look like the white one. The green and black look great together. My guess is you prefer the black but your family suggested the white. Can’t wait to see if I am correct.
I like the white base with the white base removed. Huh that makes no sense 🙂 So Actually I like a black base but the size of the white base, does that make sense?
Thanks for sharing

I have to say the white base makes the card pop.
I like the black.
black base….makes card standout more…
OK I’m not going to be a lot of help here. Love them both! Depends on what look you are going for….the black base makes it a striking card. But the only thing you really notice besides the black base is the bird. Everything else kind of washes out. With the white base your flower image and green layer really stand out. Still can’t decide for sure which I like better!
White Card Base is my favorite
black definitely makes it special . white just looks like every other. card …. xxx
Black one! Maybe it makes the bird and flower stand out better, but whatever the reason, it just seems more striking somehow.
I like the black, it makes tbe design pop!
My favorite is the card with the white base. I would also like to say thank you so very much for sharing all your techniques each week. Also for making the techniques printable. You have a wonderful talent. Again thank you so very much 🙂
Love the black!!!!
LOVE the black!
