Today I would like to share cards I made for two separate challenges. My first card is for the Unity Friends with Flair hop that posts each Friday! I recently received my January KOM which is called Heart and Soul, and had to play with some of the new stamps! Just simple, but I love how all the colors blended.
I also just realized that it matches the Unity Kit of the Month Sketch Challenge, so here goes!
card stock: Pure Luxury White and Moonlit Fog
embossing powder: white detail
designer paper: Vintage Shabby by TH Idea-ology
ink: TH Distress in iced spruce, gathered twigs, and evergreen bough
punch: SU!
My next card is for the House Mouse Monday Challenge #111, and we are asked to create in black and white.
card stock: Pure Luxury Onyx Black
designer paper: Making Memories Black Tie
dies: Spellbinders Fancy Tags Three, Nestabilities Scalloped Heart, Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish
ink: Memento Tuxedo Black & Versafine Onyx Black
embossing powder: Detail Clear
embellishments: gems and crochet flowers
stamps: Two part Harmony HMG1006, Music In My Heart CR1058
Sorry for the quick post today, friends. We are expecting snow tonight and I have a million errands to do today. Be safe, be warm, and enjoy your weekend!

Would love to know how you colored the house in the first card. Its looks awesome
Beautiful cards. Really love how you used the house from jan.'s kit!
These are both great! I just love how adorable House Mouse stamps are! I have a couple...I should pull them out and get 'em inky!
Jackie, I embossed it in white detail powder on white card stock and used the 3 colors of Distress inks with the foam blending tool. That is it. Thanks for asking!
Love the calming colors on the first card -- makes me think "home sweet home"! also love the "Olga-inspired" flourish on the second one -- how dramatic in black!
Both cards are wonderful, Mary Anne! I'm lovin' the sponging on the first card, and WOW - can I just say that I am totally blown away by your black and white HM creation??? Woweeee! Great cards - thanks for sharing!
Mary Anne, these are gorgeous, I love that House Mouse card, how fabulous.

And just giggled with delight at the House Mouse card. I just LOVE their stamps and that little song he's trying to sing...SO SWEET.

your card is super.
Two beautiful cards. I love the beautiful soft tonings of your first card and the way you have embossed your house and layered the sentiment. As for your second who can resist house mouse, and I love the use of the spellbinder tag. I have to wait another few weeks for my Jan KOTM to arrive so I love the advanced inspiration.
Wonderful cards!
