May Joyful Stars Blog Hop with To My Bestie

Welcome back to another Joyful Stars Blog Hop! We are a group of Close to My Heart consultants who share something each month on the 9th and at 9PM EST. If you are coming from Krista Hershberger's blog you are on the right track. (The complete lineup is on Joyce's blog in case you get lost.) Have fun being inspired!  

I have two cards to share with you that started with the same great sketch from the current Stella Says Sketch Challenge using the May Stamp of the Month "To My Bestie".  The images were colored in with Marvy watercolor pencils.

The above card uses the new Craft On striped paper and Zip Strip, Bluebird Card Stock, Lilac Card Stock, and Black Shimmer Trim.

This card uses the recently retired So Much Happy striped paper and Zip Strip, Thistle Card Stock, Canary Card Stock and Purple Shimmer Trim.

Which card do you like better?

Here is the fabulous Stella Says Sketch that inspired  my card layout:

The versatile To My Bestie stamp set is only available during the month of May and can be purchased for just $5 with a qualifying $50 purchase here.

I'm also entering these cards into the following challenges:
