monday...sharing a few cards today

Good morning everyone! Today I'm sharing two cards that I made using this sketch below from the brand new Stamp School stamps company created by Lisa, the owner of A Walk Down Memory Lane!



and here are my cards:


Supplies-
cardstock: Recollections, DCWV;
patterned paper: Bella Blvd Tailwaggers & Cat Naps (Doggy Sweater);
stamp: Fiskars Acrylic Stamps All Year Greetings, Motivet digital stamp cat with flower;
coloring pencils: Prismacolor pencils;
bling: Ranger Stickles (Diamond), Liquid Peals (White Opal);
pens: American Crafts Precision Pen (Black), Ranger Opaque White pen;
ink: StazOn Archival Ink (Jet Black);
tools: Cuttlebug Machine, Provocraft Textile embossing folder, Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page (Vintage Flowers), Posy Patch Die (HCD 701), Tim Holtz Paper Distresser;

For this card I used a digital cat stamp which I colored with Prismacolor pencils and OMS. I stamped a simple sentiment over the colored image and added a punched circle over the image and background layers. I finished the card off by adding 3 small flowers on the bottom right of the circle.

Here is a close up of the card:



Here is the second card:

Supplies-

patterned paper: Authentique Gathering 6x6 Paper Pads;

ink: StazOn Archival Ink (Jet Black);
tools:  Cuttlebug MachineDecorative Oval Window (HCD 710), Posy Patch Die (HCD 701)Tim Holtz Paper Distresser;


For this one, I used Heartfelt Creations stamps and colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and OMS. For the circle as asked for in the sketch, I actually used a Heartfelt Creations Exclusive die. I did the background the same way I made the background for the first card-three pieces of pattern paper, distressed the edges and doodled in stitches. I added the sentiment directly unto the background layer and added a few more posy flowers to the circle.
