Second Time Around

I made this first card about three years ago. I never liked it. I always thought that it was missing something. It was never a card that I wanted to send to anyone.

This past week I was working on the topic "Using Layers In Cardmaking" for a class. I created several samples and worked on some handouts showing different ways to use layers. Then I thought of this card. Could I make this same card and make it better by adding some layers?

Here is the result--

I tried to keep the basic layout using the same images in the same colors. I think it worked. By adding texture and a couple more layers, I have a card that I will be proud to send.
