One from me, two from Sage

One from me:

I made a card yesterday evening, for this week's Make It Monday at Papertrey Ink: Diamond Wallpaper Stamping.

It's my husband's birthday tomorrow and I always use PTI's On the Farm set to make his cards (for proof click here & here.)

I chose the colours for my card based on these cards that Betsy Veldman shared on her blog earlier this month.

I stamped my diamond background using the double striped stamp from Simply Framed, 

inked the edges and added the stars (from Summer Camp) in red.

The other images and sentiment are from On the Farm and I heat embossed the sentiment on a double-ended banner die cut.

I'm also linking my card up to this week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Emboss It.

Two from Sage:

Before Sage left for camp, I suggested that she make a couple of thank you cards

to give to her counsellors at the end of the week.

She used PTI's Slide Frame die with some aqua mist card stock,

stamped the lake scene from Summer Camp and then water coloured it, using dye inks spritzed with water.

She added some Lawn Fawn critters, which she also water coloured and cut out by hand.

The sentiments are from Wplus9's Fanciful Feathers stamp set.

Aren't they sweet?

I'm linking her cards up to the latest Lawnscaping Challenge: Watercolour.

Thanks for looking!
