Thank You Cards

Happy Valentines Day! Damp & gloomy here, so we're just having a quiet day at home.  I finished 4 cards for the PTI Anniversary challenges last night & this morning. Creative, fun challenges this year!  I'll divide them up, so here are the first cards.

Laurie's Card
This one is for Create Along with Us.  Laurie's black & white image on a watercolor background inspired me.  Also gave me a chance to try watercolor with Distress Stains that I saw done by Julie on The Classroom.  I used bundled sage & victorian velvet.  
The PTI stamps are Meadow Greens & Quilled Elegance.  I stamped with Versafine Smokey Gray & Onyx Black.  The stitching is Lil' Inker & I added splatters with Distress Stain brushed pewter. I'm also entering these challenges: CropStop, SSS Wednesday & Stamping Sensations.

Next is my thank you card for Saturday Snail Mail (which is going to the PTI Warehouse staff) combined with Color Pop Fortune Teller.  Have to admit--not sure I did the "flipping" correctly, but I would not have picked these 3 colors, so hopefully it's all good--haha!  
The images are all from PTI Twig Wreath & Quilled Elegance stamped in PTI Winter Wisteria, Ripe Avocado & Orange Zest along with HA Cup O' Joe for the sentiment.  Amazing the difference after using PTI canvas/linen impression plate.  I added a bit of orange Stickles to the flower centers.

    Beautiful stamping and inking on both cards Great, I have a bit of a thing for floral wreaths so naturally love that, but it's the pretty pastel hues on the first that really jumps out at me.

    Many thanks for joining us at Stamping Sensations challenge.
