I love Tuesday mornings!!!

Oh and Thursday mornings!! Both girls are at preschool so I craft!! No housework, just up to 2 hours of crafting. I love it!
So I have knocked challenges on the head this morning and made a bit of money as both cards are commissions for twin girls - both very different! I have used the same colours and papers, but am surprised at how different they look.
The first card uses Stamp with Fun's sketch, buttons and bows (The Next Level) and ribbons (Creative Card Crew).

I coloured my Gorguss girl and the matted her onto brown and blue dp. This sketch is lovely and simpl so I kept the dp simple, and again matted it onto corresponding blue and brown dp. I added a big organza bow to it. I used blue organza for the side pieces and added brown buttons. A big blue flower with button centre finishs it off.
Sister number 2 is less fussy so I used the Sunday Sketch and Satamp sketch, and combined it with A Spoonfull of Sugar's hearts challenge.
Again my image is coloured in promarkers and I added some tiny pink heart gems to the dress (she does token pink unlike her sister!!). I matted the image onto brown and blue dp, and matted the patterned dp onto brown dp. I added brown ribbon and stamped the sentiment using sepia ink. Strictly no flowers, bows, fuss!!
Both images really do reflect the girls!! Hopefully mum will like them.
Well I've got time for a coffee, then its get the girls, and they are having a friend for lunch so teddy butties are on the menu!
Recipe:
Stamp(s): Sugar Nellie Gorguss Girls Flower Girl, Miss Attitude; Pollycraft Sherbert sentiment
Colouring Media: Promarkers
Papers: My Minds Eye Everyday Tango
Embellishments: ribbon, buttons, flowers from stash
