"Instant" Cards

I have some lovely paper from Lasting Impressions that I got from a friend several years ago. I promised I would use it, and I'm still working on it:) Here are two cards that pretty much made themselves. The flower and stripes are all together. All I did was add the sentiments, which are from Papertrey Ink. For this first card, I embossed the black ink-stamped sentiment with sparkly embossing powder, matted it and mounted on foam squares.

For this second card, I stamped directly on the image, trimmed down the panel and matted with matching cardstock. Both cards have an ivory base.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
