Get Well Cards with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #559

 Welcome back to another Atlantic HeartsSketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch features a vertical layout with 3 stripes beneath the rectangular panel in the center.  My cards were inspired by wanting to use a new confetti paper I found in clearance at Hobby Lobby.  I wasn't sure if I liked the navy blue trim or turquoise trim so I made 2 cards.  The pink layer is pink acetate which I also picked up on clearance years ago.  The stamped elements were from a retired Close to my Heart stamp and thin cut die set called "Under the Weather".

Here are closeup photos.  Which card do you like better?
