Hello there and happy Wednesday! It has been so busy this past week - my house looks like a tornado whipped through it, LOL, which totally stresses me out - that I haven't had much time to craft!
Today's OWH challenge is a recipe challenge -
2 patterned papers
1 twine/ribbon
1 die cut
1 embossing folder
I made this one first. While I love the papers, it's overall just kind of 'meh' to me. The ribbon looks a lot more coordinated than in the photo, I promise. I combined a couple of sentiments but I'm not sure the mix in fonts works either. ARGH!

So then I made this one, and I like it a lot more. It's not crooked in real life. Maybe my head is crooked? I swear I have way too many crooked photos lately. :/

The embossing is harder to see in the second photo - I embossed the larger oval with a woven/linen embossing folder. It's subtle. :)
Thanks for looking!

Love both cards and I think the pattern paper on your second card really makes it pop!
ReplyDeleteNice! I like both of your cards for this challenge, they're fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing in our Operation Write Home Midweek Throwdown challenge!
I like both of them! I really like the bold sentiment on the second one. I like the way the delicate twine complements the large letters.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are beautiful. I love the sentiment on the first card!
ReplyDeleteReally nice use of patterned papers in both cards!
ReplyDeleteThis was a fun "recipe".
I love the papers in your first card and the second one is great with those darker colors. I almost always make two cards too!
ReplyDeleteBoth are fabulous cards...maybe if you matted the sentiment on the first you would like it better. tfs!!!
ReplyDeleteI like both of your cards but the second one is my favorite. I really like the ink color used on your cards. Brings out that color in the papers and twine.
