Great Swaps Girls Swaps

Hello again everyone!! Hope you all are having a great day!! This first card I wanted to share with you is one that I made for the Great Swaps Girls non A2 swap. You could make a card(using only SU supplies of course) of any size or shape, as long as it wasn't a standard(5 1/2x4 1/4) sized card. My card is 3x6 and it was made using my favorite stamp set, Bloomin' Beautiful. I know I am not alone here when I say that I am DYING for the new SU catalog. Every year I get so excited just thinking about all the new eye candy!! There is still a ton I want out of the current catalog, but hopefully none of it will retire. If so, I will have a lot of explaining to do when our mad money disappears!! I used Cameo Coral and Old Olive for this card. The strip down the middle is some Old Olive DSP. The edges of the main image are distressed and the sentiment is from Warm Words. What do you think?
stamps-Bloomin Beautiful, Warm Words
paper- Old Olive CS and DSP, Cameo Coral, and Whisper White
ink- Black Stazon
tools-silver brads, white taffeta, SU markers, edge distresser
This next card was made for another Great Swaps Girls Swap. It was an NVR swap, which meant we could use anything we wanted on the card. What kind of a Prettie Girl would I be if I didn't use one of my favorite Prettie images?? I stamped Cooper on watercolor paper and colored him in using my SU markers. The Dp is some Imagine That paper that I had leftover from my sisters shower decorations. The sentiment is from the retired SU set Riveting and was stamped twice, once in Ballet Blue, and then again in Pumpkin Pie. I punched both out and mounted them on Ballet Blue and Pumpkin Pie. The PP layer was cut out using the scallop punch then turned a little(while attached to another piece of paper) and cut again to make it "spiky" for lack of a better word. I added some Pumpkin Pie ribbon and silver brads and it was done. I sure hope they all it!! I have been meaning to post these cards for a week now, and I finally remembered to do it!! Yayyy me!!
stamps-Look Out World and Riveting(SU)
