I like the 2nd one the most (The Winter Glitter One)
The first one i dont really like the colours and the girl, they look odd together

The second one is great, i especially like the crumpled paper effect on it

The third one seems very random to me. A solid colour with parts of it cut out revealing clouds. I Think a mix of colours used in the background might look better

The last one i like second most. The crumpled paper effect mixed with the missing edges makes it look as though the piece is old and damaged

Did you actually make the paper effect in a program or is it actually crumpled paper?

Thanks. ^_^

The third one isn't solid colour with parts of it cut out to reveal clouds. It's actually the wall behind the girl and the clouds I erased around with a scratchy brush, colored then put on top.

The paper is actually this.

I think you did a pretty good job with all of these. I like the usage of colors in the blends and I really do like the paper effect that you have going. That looks pretty neat and I think you did a nice job with that one. I like it.

I really like you're style. It looks simple enough, but the composition is solid in every peice, that takes skill.

For a little criticism, I think the text on the second one could use a little wear and tear to make it tie in to the whole peice better. Everything else is dirty and the text is clean. Maybe set the blending mode to Overlay, Soft Light, or Multiply and then do some subtle masking/erasing.

Thanks for the comments. ^^ Yeah, the text was bugging me too, but I really can't be asked to do something about it. <.<

I thought the 3rd pic looks nice to me.
