Thank You Cards

I was needing to make some thank you cards really badly so I participated in two different challenges to get me going.

Challenge #1:
Saturday Card Sketch from 2Peas


Here is my two takes on this sketch. It always amazes me how different each card can look from a single sketch....I really am starting to enjoy following sketches more and more.

Supplies: Kraft cardstock-Bazzill; Patterned Paper - Basic Grey Origins line; Stamps - Unity Stamp Co Jan 2012 KOM & Heartfelt Sentiments; Divine Twine; Jenni Bowlin ink - seed packet & brown sugar; Distress Ink by Tim Holtz - Walnut Stain; 3 Heart Punch - Stampin' Up


Supplies: Cardstock by Bazzill; Patterned paper - Bella Blvd Give a Hoot & Doodlebug's Petite Prints (tangerine); Distress Ink by Tim Holtz - Vintage Photo; Jenni Bowlin Ink - spice tin; Sentiment - Unity Stamp Co Heartfelt Sentiments; Divine Twine; Owl Punch - Stampin' Up; Tim Holtz - Tiny Attacher

Challenge #2:
