A Winter and a Summer Card

Hi Everyone,

I am playing along with the weather here, which can not yet decide if its going to be warm or cold....

My first card is for this weeks Muse Christmas Vision, where my talented friend Suchi from Suchi's Cardstock is our guest designer. She made a delightful card!

Here is Suchi's card:

I went with the red and green color scheme, but exchanged the baubles for penguins (Inkadinkadoo). Sponged the sky  and added falling snow with a Simon Says stencil and embossing paste.

So how about you playing along, too?

Merry Monday - let it snow

My second card has a more summery feel and I made it after the CAS Colour and Sketches sketch.

It is actually a tricky little sketch. I played around a bit, before I was happy. But I like unusual requirements and a real challenge!

Took my favorite iStencil - I can't get enough of it and sponged in yellow and blue. The acetate butterflies I had in my stash basically forever, made  a bunch of them a long time ago with STAMPlorations stamps, and those two survived a previous card....

The pretty sentiment is by Happy Little Stampers
