I hope you are doing something special with loved ones today. We are repeating our steak & lobster family dinner. The first time I bought lobster for Valentine's Day I wasn't sure if the kids would like it and was sort of looking forward to leftover lobster for lunch the next day. My dear son inhaled his whole tail, took his plate and headed to the kitchen looking for more. He has since learned to take his time and savour each little piece drenched in garlic butter.
Before I start cooking, I thought I'd better quickly post these two cards as the deadlines are rapidly approaching. This first one is for another Papertrey Ink 8th Anniversary challenge Day 8: Blue Ombre Challenge.
This second card is inspired by Michele Ferguson's card for Muse Challenge #104.
I added a little color to my embossing paste and used a stencil to apply it to the panel. The neutral palette, chevron's and "hello" sentiment are all elements from Michele's card.
Thanks for stopping by,
Jacquie
