Vicki, Really beautiful cards. I may like the first one just a bit better but that's probably becuase I'm more partial to blues than yellows. But I love the bold, striped paper you used on the yellow one. I'm going to have to add that to my design choices now that I see how effective it can be!

Emily (stampingout on SCS) said...

FAB cards, Vicki! Thank you for the great watermark tutorial. I think yours is the best one out there. :)

Karen said...
