Ornamental Iron Card with Freshly Made Sketch #683

This week's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches intrigued me with it's two color focal image.  Since I had my Cricut out for a different project I decided to look for an interesting design that I could do in mirrored colors.  The card stock colors are Close to my Heart Journey and Capri with Holographic card stock trim.  The Cricut cut is from Ornamental Iron called "Gate Top".

I had leftover pieces so I made a second card. Lagoon CS is the new color.  Which card do you like better?

Here is the fabulous Freshly Made Sketch that inspired my card layout:
