Large Birthday Sentiment with Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch #633

 These two cards came together very quickly following Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch #633!  The sparkly papers are from Noble Peacock DSP (retired Stampin' Up) and the big sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp "Best Year Yet".  The first card was embossed with "Cobalt Tapestry" from Personal Stamp Exchange--can you see the tiny flecks of gold in it?  The second card was stamped with Versamark, then "Uptown" ink by Catherine Pooler and then sprinkled with Polysparkle Clear Tinsel Embossing Powder (retired from Close to my Heart.)

Which card do you like better?

Glittery Daisies Birthday Card with Sketch Saturday #729

 Years ago I purchased this glittery white daisy and pink background paper (Cloud 9) and decided to use it in today's project.  I didn't want to totally cover up the middle section so I stamped and clear embossed with Polysparkle Tinsel on vellum to keep the pretty daisies in view.  The bold sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Best Year Yet stamp set. While I was at it, I made two cards varying the background mat.

Which background mat do you like better--grey or white?
