Two sketches on Sunday

Hi everyone!  It's another rainy end to a hot weekend here in the deep South, which means it's OK to stay inside and craft!  I made cards for two different challenges today.
 
The first challenge is for Freshly Made sketch #92:
This sketch made me think of the American flag, so I made a patriotic card:
I used two embossing folders for each side and the sentiment is Simon Says Stamp, which I embossed in gold.  This will be an Anyhero card to put in my box of cards for Operation Write Home.
 
My second card is for today's OWH challenge and I love the sketch with all the layers:
 
 
The papers are from the June Simon Says Stamp card kit; sentiment is from Hero Arts.  I'm trying to finish the June kit because I just got the July one and I don't want my family to see me with multiple kits open!  Gotta use 'em up!
 
I was happy to see that we had 50+ cards for the June ODBD challenge!  Great job, everyone!
 
Thanks for stopping by.

  4. That first card is amazing; I'm not sure I could ever pull that sketch off. And the second one is too, too cute! What fun it'll be for the lucky person who receives it!
