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 =)
Eveline van Heijst says
I like the white base. The black is a bit overpowering. But I really like the one on the right.
Eveline.
alice says
I like the white one better. Very nice card
erica says
Yup white base 🙂 Great card!
Carol Byrne says
Nope, definitely the black base–everything just pops with that color!
SueEllen B says
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!
Mary Lambos says
The black base, makes the green really POP!
Chris says
I really like the black.
Debra says
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!
paintpotts says
The white base.
Pat Jordan says
The black is best!
Valerie Malkus says
I prefer the white base. Thank you. They are both beautiful!
Beth S says
I like the white base best.
Jenny says
I like the black – personally I think the white card seems a little washed out.
Jan says
I like the white base.
lpoppcrew@gmail.com says
I like the black, makes the center piece pop!
Letha Thomas says
I have to say I’d have made this card, which is great btw, but I love the black behind it!!!!
Letha Thomas says
Oops! I’d have made it with the white base bit prefer the black – it’s just so much nicer 🙂
Julie says
I prefer the black.
Julie Rutter says
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.
Julie says
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….
Betty Saccocia says
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!
Vicki Keyzer says
The black base makes everything just pop. My eye was drawn to that one first.
Jackie says
I like the black.
Beate Hauck says
The black one is my favorit.
Kay says
Black, tho’ both are lovely.
Cheryl says
I prefer the black base
Sue Farrant says
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!
Gloria Paet says
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.
Debra Higgs says
I love the black
kathy says
I also liked both of them, but prefer the black base.
Kathy
Charlotte says
White one!
Leah says
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.
zena says
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

Cindy says
I have to say the white base makes the card pop.
Gayle says
I like the black.
marge says
black base….makes card standout more…
Carol Parcell says
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
Toni says
black definitely makes it special . white just looks like every other. card …. xxx
Linda says
Black one! Maybe it makes the bird and flower stand out better, but whatever the reason, it just seems more striking somehow.
Roberta Broussard says
I like the black, it makes tbe design pop!
Amanda Payne says
