4th of July Cards

We are attending some 4th of July parties this year that I wanted to thank the host for having us.  Plus it gives me a reason to make cards!  Here are 2 versions of the same card.

White base card

Red base card

I made the Whisper White card first but wanted to change it slightly since the stripes didn't quite fit the full card.  That's why I made the second one and the white layer fit perfectly into the Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder Die.  Which one do you like better?
