Cards that make me happy...

Hi friends!! I am here again to share a couple of cards. I as usual was inspired by a few challenges... My first card was inspired by the colors at Cure for the Monday Blues challenge #17, the design was inspired by the MUSE #67 - Therese Calvird, she knows I am a big fan of her creativity, and this goes to her awesomeness!! For the theme I was inspired by the Catered Crop - Sweet home recipe swap and since my card inclused a die cut , I will share it at Simon Says stamp Wednesday Challenge - Die crazy.
To make this, I first die cut the alphabets placing them in a row. Then I inked the upper half of the card, inlaid the alphabets, did some stamping to built up around the die cut and adhered some embellishments to finish my card.

My second card, was inspired by the sketch at the Challenge #6, started by Lesley Croghan at her blog, the photo at Inspired by #117 and by Cut it up challenge #44 - Mother's day.
 This was an easy to make card, I had this stitched rectangle from Lil Inker's sent by a sweet friend. I simply stamped it and the card base with flowers. Stamped fuzzy cut and colored the owls and adhered them on the card.
 

Hope you will like my cards :) thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment :)
