Come and Get it Technique Challenge- Faux Linen

Hi Everyone, This week is was my turn over at come and get it challenge blog to decide on the technique, I chose Faux Linen, since I hadn't done it in a while and I really like the look of the technique. I also wanted to show that it can be done as part of the main image or can be done as a background technique. If you go over to the blog, there are some great ways of using this technique and a link to a video so you can come and play with us.
My first card is done using the Lovely as a Tree Set, and I used a retired set called riveting for the sentiment.
The second card is done using the Fast and Fabulous Set, the Wonderfully Worn Background and the Sentiment is from Whimsical Words Set

Stamping 411 Challenge again

This is my take on the Stamping 411 sketch this week. I have a lady at work who asked for some congratulations cards and I didn't have a one in my stash, so here is the first one that I've made, will make about a half dozen more and then she can choose, which she likes. The flower was colored using aqua painter and ink from the rose red ink pad to match the colors of the paper and ink used.
Thanks again for looking
