Cards with different styles...

I have made two completely different cards as far as the style goes, I am satisfied with both of my cards. The first card is inspired by the CASology Challenge week 55 - CAMP and I am also playing it for Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - ANYTHING GOES 
The card was simple to make, I decide to pick up the elements which we often see when we go for camping, a camping hat and a wooden sign board as my focal image. With the hat, I decide my sentiment which was printed on kraft card stock. The card base was embossed (with wooden frame from Darice)and focal image was hand drawn, colored (I mostly do add my hand drawn things) and stuck with foam dots :)
CASology Cue Card -

Now, the second card is inspired by the photo inspiration challenge at the House of Cards - Month One. I decided to go with classic and elegant style  to make this card. 
I partially inked my card base with a sponge dauber. Then I did some stamping along the inked sides. I added some gold on the stamped images using my gold gel pen. Sentiment was stamped and embellishments were added and I am all set with my card. I will play this card for Inkspirational Challenge #31 - ANYTHING GOES and for Addicted to stamps and more challenge #56 - ANYTHING GOES as well :)

    I am certainly not at all surprised that you drew that wonderfully floppy hat, Deepti! You really should consider partnering with a stamp company, but I'm sure you hear that all the time.

    Love the little scene(if it can be called onr) that you have created. The drawing and coloring are amazing!!

    And the sponge BG on the next card looks so smooth. I tried sponging with distress inks yesterday, and the result was a bit uneven. Any tips,Dee?

    Thanks,
    Vithya
