Two cards, one quick post!

I'm nearly late for the party at Color Throwdown #781 - and it has been FAR too long since I've played along... sorry ladies!  I just could NOT resist your gorgeous inspiration this week!


I reached for this gorgeous Gentle Peonies layering stencil set from The Ton 
and just a few inks...


Here are the results:


And while I was at it ... second helpings for Just us Girls #715!



Really different aren't they??  Gotta run...

The Ton has fabulous in-your-face stamps and stencils and you got one of their best, Michele. Both cards are gorgeous and yes very different from each other. Thanks for sharing one of them with us at Just Us Girls.
