Two cards today!

Hi everyone! I've just finished another Chemo cycle, so I'm back in action again. I actually made these 2 cards on the weekend, just haven't had a chance to post them to the blog yet.

I've had both of the stamped images, coloured, and sitting on my desk for weeks now! I thought they would both fit the bill for the Get Sketchy card challenge #25, and the Toile Blossom card below also fits the criteria for Papertake Weekly's gingham or checks challenge.


I used a stamp from Stampin' Up's Toile Blossom set (retired now), and water-coloured the image with Tim Holtz Distress inks. The background paper is by Basic Grey and I've added some pink gingham ribbon.



This 2nd card is more male oriented. I used a pheasant image by Viva Las Vegas stamps, also water-coloured with Tim Holtz Distress inks, added a bit of raffia and the striped DP is by Kaisercraft, which I've pierced around the borders.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, hope you have a wonderful day!

Oh Lyn, they are both so elegant, & the images are just perfect for colouring in.
I hope you are coping well with your chemo, & that the treatment is doing its thing. Hugs from Vicky :)
