Fusion Card Challenge--Floral Cupcakes

When I saw the fabulous sketch at Fusion Card Challenge I immediately thought about using my Close to my Heart Multi Square Windows Thin Cut Die.  Then I remembered that I had floral paper that pretty closely matched the colors in the floral cupcake graphic so I just had to make a couple of cards.

The patterned paper is from "Hello Lovely" which was retired fro CTMH several years ago.  The greeting is from "Shared Happiness" and it was stamped over a strip of Whimsy Fundamentals paper.  The window grid was cut from retired Sea Glass paper.

My second card uses the flip side of the Hello Lovely patterned paper, Sorbet patterned Card Stock from Whimsy Fundamentals (CTMH 2017) and a greeting from "Get Well Soon". 

Which card do you like better?
