More cards and challenges...

Well, friends... I made these two cards because I am heading off for a holiday and will not be able to craft for a while. So I squeezed in some time for crafting in the mid of rigorous packing ;) lol can't help it...
My first card is inspired the the theme at CASology week 68 - BLACK and by the sketch at the Retrosketches #87. Here's my card....
To make this, I embossed some lines using Martha Stewart score board. Cut out a black panel, further cut out the black panel to display the light coming from flash light and replaced it with inked white panel. The flash light is hand drawn n colored. The heart ( from Studio G - iClear set) is stamped and fuzzy cut. Sentiment is hand written :)

My second card is a Christmas card inspired by the lovely Muse #41 card from Janet Ribet and by the challenge started by our  very talented Nonni from Korttikarkuri My Christmas cards Challenge #2- use old stash.
To make this I inked the base of the card just above the snowscape. Snowscape is hand drawn and cut out from white card stock scrap, the birch trees were made from old scrap (DCWV - Basics), the deer is made by inking using a stencil. Star are embossed, cut (using Momenta dies) ans inked. All elements are stuck on the card base :)
Muse Card :)
