House of Cards
June Challenge

____________________

For this card, I used the ocean theme as my inspiration.
The seascape was copied and mirrored for a symmetrical scene.

Prize: $10 to use in store

I added three enamel dots matching the colors of the ocean scene.
The black border around the swirly sentiment blocks it in very nicely!

While I was coloring this scene it quickly came to me a set of children's books by Ruth Galloway I used to read to my children.
 Below, I have attached the front and back cover of one book of her books.

Now we are back on land with another card.

In keeping with the inspiration photo,
I decided to keep the colors soft and to a minimum.

All Dressed Up

Prize: 2 images

I added some vintage charm with a lace stamp at the corner of the card.
The sentiment panel is bordered with black which coordinates with
the black strip on the side of the card. 

I added a bit of texture by coloring the little blue flowers and adding tiny flowers in her basket.
Again keeping it soft and beachy.

YES! we have more fabulous sponsors
