Stamp of Approval . . . 2 Cards . . . 2 Challenges

Finally found some time today to get back to creating, and I really enjoyed it.  I had some brand new product to play with from Stamp of Approval's latest release, Lovely Notes.  I couldn't wait to get busy today.

First up was a challenge from Stamp Ink Paper, which was a black and white challenge.  Here is my card . . .


Stamping and embossing was the name of the game for this one . . . super simple . . . as always the hardest part is keeping the embossing powder where it needs to be.  


And then for my second card, a little creation for Freshly Made Sketches using some pattern papers.  Trying to use my stash, which we all know is never an easy task.

Here is the sketch . . .
  And here is my card . . . 



Pattern papers and a splash of black, and using my new SOA products.  What can be better. 

I hope you found some time to create today.

  5. Very pretty cards!! I, too, struggle with keeping my embossing powder where it needs to be. I keep telling myself if I used it more, maybe I would get better at it, but...... :) Thank you for joining us at Stamp, Ink, Paper!!
