two for Tuesday

Today I have 2 cards that I made for the Tuesday DD challenges.  The first one I made for both Michelle and Christine’s challenges.  It may be a bit of a stretch for a masculine card though.  I used some sparkly papers from the DCWV Summer Glitter matstack.  I tore the top edge of the beige one to resemble a sandy shoreline.  And I thought the surfboard paper would be perfect for this C.C. Designs image!  In the bottom left corner is a scrap that was left from cutting out the flourishes I’ve used lately.  I thought it would make a good accent.

My second card was made for JulieHRR’s challenge.  The card base is shimmery white cardstock.  This is one of those cards that looks so much better in person!  I hated to waste the vellum cardstock oval that I cut from my vellum frame on yesterday’s card.  So I stamped my main image (a new catalog preview) on it and colored the reverse side with Copic markers.  The bird was stamped, colored, cut out and layered onto the front of the vellum.  On the edge of the cardfront I used the SU! scallop edge punch that will be available in the new catalog as well.  To finish it off I added a bit of ribbon, a pearl embellishment, and some dots of Liquid Pearls.
