Double Post

Good evening!  Tonight's post features two cards covering 4 challenges total.  I wanted to post them all together to save digital space, I suppose.  This first card is for The Pink Elephant 257, as well as Runway Inspired Challenge #63.  I was excited when I saw the inspiration photo as it let me try out my chevron punch for the first time.  I chose to keep it simple and bold with straight edges like the dress.

Here's the inside with the sentiment so you do know it's a birthday card (and that I did use a stamp!)   :)  The black card stock is from a friend, the white from some unpublished books at work, the floral from an anniversary gift from my hubby, and the stamp and ink are Stampin' Up.

This second card is for Seize the Sketch #23 as well as The Paper Players #202.  The Paper Players Challenge was a Tic-Tac-Toe, so I chose to use green, embossing, and birthday.  The green card stock is from my mom, and the white is from those same books at work.  The stamps, ink, embossing folder, and framelit are Stampin' Up.  Hope you enjoy!  <3 JEM
