Adding text to image

Yesterday I did a print from a thumbnail I designed. Then I was adding text to it according to the design.

I felt the cut-outs worked well but I didn't like the text in pink as it makes it look a bit cluttered and messy. As a result I tried the text again with just cut-outs.

I think this version looks slightly better as it looks more coherent. This shows how if something isn't working well, it's good to go back and try again.

I then combined this print and one of my previous ones into another pattern.

I'm enjoying doing these house prints but I think I need to take it further as it's getting a bit repetitive.
