A Couple of Challenge Cards

This first card was for the SCS Technique Challenge. It required that the focus of the design be die cuts instead of stamping. I created the sentiment on my computer.

My second card is a one layer, clean and simple sympathy card created for the week's color challenge at Splitcoaststampers.

  7. Both are lovely. Great die cuts on the first one. The second is a wonderful one layer card, a great way to use the colours.

  8. Both your cards are lovely Lynn. I love how the sentiment fits with the scissors and the thread and needle. And your second card just jumps off the page with the focal point against the pink and blue.
