Today's cards

Hello!  In between the three concerts my son played in this weekend, I only had a few hours to create a few cards.  The first is for this week's OWH sketch #211 :
I used two oval dies to emboss the area around the lighthouse sticker.  The paper is from Club Scrap.
 
For my second card, I was inspired by the color challenge at the Daring Cardmakers which is based on this photo:
 
 I used the Tim Holtz Rays stencil and Distress Inks in yellows (Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Wild Honey and Spiced Marmalade) for the rays.  Then I moved the stencil and inked the space between the rays with Salty Ocean to create the sky background:
 
 
The sentiment is by Technique Tuesday.  I added Wink of Stella to the yellow rays, but it's hard to see that in my photo.
 
Hope you're having a great Sunday!  Thanks for stopping by.

  3. These are two very different but pretty cards. As I'm missing sunshine at the moment, I think I like the second card even a bit better =)
    Thanks for taking part in the Daring Cardmakers colour challenge.
