2 cards - 6 challenges

I'm feeling much better now, all thats left of my cold is a sore throat and a slight cough :)
I'm so happy to be able to have some free time at the moment to sit and make cards, and it's nice to have a go at some of the fab challenges that are around in blogland.

Here's my first card today...

I started with a cream card base and rounded the top corners.
Next I stamped the 3 trees (SUs 'Trendy Trees' stamp set) onto cream cardstock using Old Olive, Really Rust, Summer Sun, Pumpkin Pie and Close to Cocoa inks. I cut these out and used foam adhesive to stick them to a piece of my fave Chatterbox 'chateau' cardstock which I had punched the top corners to replicate the card base and also scallop edge punched the bottom of it, adding some yellow ribbon just above the scallops.
The sentiment is also from the same SU stamp set.

I'd like to enter this card into the following 4 challenges:

Allsorts - Plain and Simple

Sketchy Colors - Colour Challenge
(Yellow, Orange, Green and Brown)

Stamp Something  and  Stamptacular who are both asking for us to use fall (autumn) colours this week.




This is my second card...

I've used SU's 'Almost Amethyst' cardstock and 'Tea Party' papers for this card.
I paper pricked all around the card and one of the centre pieces then dragged a purple pen through the holes to make the 'stitching'
The pretty Magnolia image was coloured with ProMarkers.
I punched out the flowers from glittered cardstock and coloured the centres with a purple pen. The sentiment is from SU's Pocket Silhouettes stamp set.

I used the lovely sketch by Dawny over at Just Magnolia's and would like to enter this card to their challenge.
Also, the challenge over at Crafty Catz which has a theme of stitching.

Thanks for looking :) xx
