on a challenge journey!

ok...so since I posted last night...i have gotten a few cards completed for the Hope You Can Cling To challenges...For these two cards I was able to use my new stamps from PaperTrey Ink (more on those later!).  For the first card I cased a card by Nichole Heady (found here) because I just thought it was soooo gorgeous!  I had to add a little bit here or there for the buttons challenge at HYCCT:

Supplies: Image and sentiment - PaperTrey Ink; Cardstock - Kraft and Bazzil; Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black and Copic ((R11, R12, R14, R17, Y21, YG93, YG95, YG97); Pearls - Queen&Co.

For this next card I wanted to go very simple in design to ensure that the flower stood out (literally...the challenge was to pop out your image!):

Supplies: Image - PaperTrey Ink, Sentiment - Verve; Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black and Copic (R30, R32, R35, R39, R20, R21, YG93, YG95, YG97; Spica - Garnet

and now...off to make some MORE cards!
