Four Assorted Cards

I've got an assortment of cards I've managed to make this week, in between getting ready for yet another trip back east with my daughter.  My first two cards are inspired by this card by Laura Bassen.  I am entering the first one at Simon Says Wednesday You Gotta Have Friends, Simply Create Too Your Sentiment is the Highlight and Simon Says Monday Anything Goes.  I used the same stamping technique as I used in this card, where I stamped in black and then overstamped slightly offset in another color.

I am entering this next card at Simply Create Too Your Sentiment is the Highlight and Simon Says Monday Anything Goes.  I stamped the 'thanks' sentiment repeatedly in Versa Mark ink, and then heat embossed the entire card at once in white.

This next card is another card I made out of a failed embossed and water colored background.  You can see the first card I made here.  There was more salvageable area on this card stock, so I was able to cut two butterflies, with a little bit left over to make a border at the bottom of the card.

I will enter this card at Simon Says Monday Anything Goes and Seize the Birthday Anything Goes.

My final card is already in the mail to a friend--she has just become a US Citizen.  I finally found an opportunity to use my Ranger Antiquities Verdigris embossing powder.  I am also entering this card at Simon Says Monday Anything Goes.

That's it for me today.
