More cards!!

It looks like I haev made lots of cards today ... but in fact only these two were made today - the rest posted today were made last night or before!!
The first card is for the Papertake Weekly and Truly Scrumptious challenges. I hardly ever use downloaded paper even though a fair amount of our hard drive is 'cluttered' with it!!! So i have used downloaded paper for this sketch.
I coloured Tilda in watercolours and distressed the background. I matted her onto some of the dp, and matted the patterned dp as well. I punched flowers and added gems to their centres, and cut a triangle for the photo corner 9a bit lazy there!! I was thinking about adding ribbon, but actually like it like this so I left it at that.

My second card is for the WOJ challenge which is another card by Heather ... I am not sure about thisone ... but hubby and Ellie say its great, so who am I to think hmmmm?!

I coloured Willow with a mix of promarkers and my new copics and then cut her out using my nesties. I layered the backgrounds at an angle to mirror the angles matt behind the image. I used ribbon and brads for the detail on the middle band and punched the scalloped edge using my fiskars threading water punch. I added a copule of swirl stamps and some flowers and a swirl.
Still not sure about this one!!
Recipe:
Stamp(s): Magnolia Tilda with flower Jeans: WOJ Sitting Summer Willow; Swirl set
Colouring Media: Distress inks; Promarkers; copics
