Seasonal Trees Card With Atlantic Hearts Sketch

Seasonal Trees is next month's Stamp of the Month and it works so well with the current Atlantic Hearts Sketch #286.  This is a one layer card (not my usual style).  The accent dots were created with an eraser tip dipped in ink and then painted with the Gold Shimmer Brush.

Mercury Glass Wedding Cards With Case This Sketch #293

We needed a wedding card this past weekend so I made an extra one using the same elements with slightly different background paper.  The background paper is "Mercury Glass" by Recollections.  The bridal couple is a Cricut cut from the Close to My Heart Flower Market cartridge.  The Celebrate sentiment is a Crafter's Companion die.  Which do you like better--silver or gold?

My card layout was inspired by this fabulous Case This Sketch #293:
