A wreath two ways

The first is neat and tidy, the other is loose and messy. I started with gold embossing and used similar colour schemes on each one.
They are both painted with peerless watercolour paints, which I love. I stayed inside the lines on the first card and went all loose and freestyle on the second. I almost gave up on the second but as I kept adding colours it did look a little less like a mistake! I almost didn’t post the messy one but in real life it actually looks artsy and fun.
I chose gold cardstock for some stacked die cut sentiments, also from PB, so the sentiment and embossing would co-ordinate. I also matted with gold and green (yes it’s green, not black) cardstock on a cream cardbase.
I hesitate to ask but are you on the neat team or the artsy(messy) team?
