These are both gorgeous Alyce I really wouldn't like to have to choose between them - so I'm sitting on the fence lol hugs Judith x

Amazing work as always Alyce xx Jan

Alyce this is just stunning once again. Love the little zipper with the heart on - a nice touch. Your colouring always looks amazing, whether its now or 10 years ago lol.

I agree, the new one definitely has more depth but not only the skin, her hair looks better and those doggone pleats! Gorgeous chickee!

I am so excited to be on the team with you again Alyce, you are such an inspiration. These are both beautiful in their own way. I love the way you play with light and shade.

Cheers,
Kasey

Hi Alyce

Perfection! I think both images are amazing, I love the variation in the skin tones as they would be with the different hair colours.

Michelle :o)

Packing my bags now...LOL....

Lisa :)

yup you have definitely improved!! both are stunning but I can see the improvement. xo

Absolutely beautiful! Your work always stuns me. So pleased I get to be on this team with you and the other amazing talented girls xxx

Well done and I like the skin tone better too. Love how you did her hair - I had trouble with that on this image and you're is perfect! Gorgeous card! :D

fantastics job !!! awesome card !

I think WOW that's what. :-) I can see you like those BG colors just as much as I do. This is just stunning Alyce. Hugs!

Gorgeous Alyce! Your coloring is always stunning but its fun to see the little improvements and tweaks :). I'm particularly loving the skin tone on the new image. Thanks for the inspiration to keep pushing myself! Hugs, Katie

Luv this Alyce! I do like the skin colours.. more depth and accents (I'm going to try these colours) and those pleats are amazing!

Hi Alyce, sorry I am not on the hop, just wanted to say your colouring blows me away.... as always it is fabulous..xx

This is absolutely stunning, Alyce! Your coloring never ceases to amaze me! Wonderful card!

These are freakin amazing!! Wow! I have to say my fav is the girl with the black hair. Between her hair and her gorgeous red top, it really jumps out at you! Great work my friend!

Alyce, I think your coloring is awesome - last year OR this year! Beautiful card as always! Sensational!
Lynn

It's fun looking back at crafting projects....and wow my friend this is fab!!
Love the zipper charm - very cute!

Wow, your coloring is always amazing but I also agree that the two layers of colors makes a big difference. Beautiful work, as always!

Your cards are always amazing Alyce. I love how you've coloured the hair, which is really eye-catching. I think the double layer colouring makes the colours look warmer, but that might be the colour of her hair adding into that too. They're both fabulous, and if I could colour half as well, I'd be a happy girlie.

So beautiful Alyce...I was sitting on the fence too and nearly fell off with the dark hair, then you take in the skin colouring and I climbed back up...both stunning..

Luv CHRISSYxx

Beautiful cards, and such beautiful coloring! You do an amazing job! sorry it's been so long since I've visited. Hugs! Leah Ann

Wow Alyce!! It went from beautiful to gorgeous!! You're coloring is beyond awesome, but it's sooo cool that you want to practice more. Love the color tones on the new image and all the shadowing. It's awesome!!
Thanks so much for the lovely comment you left me. it truly made my day brighter. Have a lovely weekend hon!!

wow such beautiful colouring, love them x

This is gorgeous, Alyce. I like both versions, but I definitely see the improvement. The skin alone is more dynamic. I LOVE side by side stuff. So glad to be working with you!

I'm sorry Alyce, but there is no way you can improve on your skills - you are the topiest top at it already! And if you get any better, I'll be dribbling on my keyboard looking at your blog!!!!

Amazing card - your skin colouring is particularly outstanding!!

The colouring details are so fabulous. Honestly you are really some one who I really get inspired by..

Thank you for sharing x

I really don't know how you are going to improve your colouring skills Alyce they are already amazing but I will be watching and hoping for tips:0 I adore your card and its amazing to see how much your colouring has changed in a year!!

I just love your colouring and this is no exception.

WOW, Oh Wow... fantastic coloring... Beautiful card!

Alyce, what can I say....your projects are always amazing and I am drooling over your coloring...You are a pure inspiration...

Great coloring on both..
Thanks for joining us over at Milk Coffee Stamps Challenge.

OMG, This card is beautiful. And your coloring is awesome.Totally love this.
Thanks for joining us at SFTW.

As if you needed to improve on YOUR coloring! Alyce, most of us would give an eye (or our first-born) to color 1/10th as good as you do. Silly girl.
I think they are equally beautiful, just different. I love them both. So there! ;^)
