Mojo Monday 261 with Clementine and Friday Favorite Things Linky Party

I made these cards for Mojo Monday 261 and am entering it in Wendy Coffman's Friday Favorite Things Linky Party .  Other than the ribbons above the scalloped circles all supplies are from Close To My Heart.  Card #1 uses Clementine patterned paper, Desert Sand CS, Creme Brulee CS, Twilight CS banner, Sorbet CS for vertical stripe and Silver Shimmer Trim which was colored with a Honey marker (How fun is that to be able to color this ribbon with CTMH alcohol markers?!!!).  The scalloped circles were cut using the Art Philosophy cricut cartridge and the birthday greeting is from Salutation Seals and was stamped in Twilight Ink on Colonial White CS.

 

Here is the sketch from Mojo Monday 261:

 

 

Here is card #2 which uses Chocolate CS and Creme Brulee CS and the zip strip from the Clementine paper over Creme Brulee CS for the vertical stripe.

 

 





 

Which of these two cards do you like better?  Does one look more masculine or feminine than the other?

Card Pattern Sketch Challenge 97 and H2H Color Challenge

Happy New Year Everyone!  The holidays were a very busy time for me and it feels good to getting back to creating.  I'm enjoying the new Close To My Heart stamps that I've just purchased.  The following card meets 2 challenges--Card Pattern Sketch Challenge 97 and the Heart to Heart Color Challenge also.  For the H2H challenge we were to use Sky, Pear and Colonial White with an accent of Sorbet if desired.

  

The stamp set is B1369 Rosy Regards which is featured in the January Inspirations brochure and in the new catalog.   All pieces were sponged with Sorbet Ink also. CTMH Glitz Glitter Gel gives the rose some additional sparkle.  The word "Love" is from the January Stamp of the Month D1452 Find Your Style.

Thanks for taking a look. I always enjoy reading your comments.
