2 single layer cards - a challenge!

Last week I hosted another Chat & Challenge online for a group of SUDSOL demonstrators. 

Normally I do a sketch challenge, but I decided to change it up a bit- you know me - live life on the edge- hahahhaha!  

Their challenge was to make a single layer card using no embellishments....now this is HARD to do....but they did an awesome job!  I cannot share their cards with you but here are two samples I submitted: 

This first card uses the Sale-A-Bration free set called Petal Parade and the greeting is from the Peachy Keen stamp set found in the new Occasions Mini catalog.  The vertical and horizontal lines were made with a ruler and Stampin' Write markers. 

This second card was made with the Petal Parade stamp set and the greeting is from A Dozen Thoughts from the annual catalog. I drew the lines with markers and then masked and stamp the floral images using more mustard, crumb cake, early espresso and cajun craze.
