Tried a sketch

This was a few weeks ago and I forgot to post them to the blog Cardpatterns, but I want show them off. The challege was http://cardpatterns.blogspot.com/2010/09/sketch-83.html. And these are the cards that I came up with:

I used some stash paper, a floral, a brown, and a cream. I used the sentiment "Thinking of you" from papertrey ink borders & corners {circle} in chocolate chip from stampin' up!. The bows are Martha Stewart ombre bow stickers.

My second creation was done with my sister in law. Paper was from the stash, grey, floral, and cream. Same sentiment, but in tempting turquoise by stampin' up!. The butterfly was cut from the same floral paper with my Silhouette SD. The bow was hand tied from some ribbon in my stash.

I really like the second one better, but I guess I had some time to play with it after making the first one. It could also be because it's blue, my favorite color.
