Books, color and Sketch...

Though I am picking up on stamping, I just can't stop creating my own elements in my cards. So today, I have two cards to share one with hand drawn and the other stamped only :) With my continuous dedication to CASology challenge blog, my first card is inspired by CASology Week 59 - BOOKS. 
I hand drew the book, the ink pot and quill, fuzzy cut and lightly inked it with sponge daubers. This was then stuck on card base with foam dots. The sentiment was printed using MS-Word. To represent further to my sentiment, I stamped the alphabets from my Studio - G stamp set to give the look that words are going into the book.  Hope you like it :)
The challenge cue card is -

Now, my second card is a result of increasing love for stamping. I was inspired by the sketch at Inkspirational #35 - Sketch and the colors at Addicted to Stamps and More #60 - Photo inspiration. So here's my card...
To make it, I did masking and inking to create that wavy horizontal line to match the sketch. The all I did was stamping, I used multiple stamps. The flowers were stamped, inked and fuzzy cut in bright red to match the inspiration. 
The challenges are -

    Please don't leave your fabulous hand drawing skills altogether, they are amazing!
    And now you are becoming a stamping star! I love this wave of grey in your card and the pops of colour from the red flowers. And I always like to see a take on a sketch that is unique. Thanks for joining us at Inkspirational and ATSM

    If I could draw like you, I don't think I would ever buy a stamp. The letters falling into the book was inspired. I love it!
