Sometimes cards are a very painstaking thing for me..I think mostly because I dont have a style of my own yet..It's a work in progress...I was short on some colors since I am using up my old paper and so color shoices are getting limited. On the one card I wish I had a more grey pink...sponging didn'thelp too much..but they turned out well enough. Now I just need to get them all in the mail...
On the first card I used "Doodle This", Oh I am loving it..I just need to make my own thing with it...Using it here I was trying to conform to SC162 a challenge on SCS so I used the large flower int he background. I really am getting anxious to paint one of those large babies. I painted a set of three flowers for the middle but it was too long for the panel and I had to cut a flower off...I have decided I dont like these brads with it..I used to have these beautiful small flower rivets in a baby yellow. they would have worked beautifully on this card...I dont know if I used them up or if they are just so buried I cant find them...but I looked. I used. basic Gray, Old Olive like, Perfect Plum and Barely Banana... the small flowers are from the punch in the "three for you" punch box...which I always forget I have...I pierced the center with my paper piercer and then 
punched the flower centers with my 1/8" hand punch. I embossed the swirl and then used my Aqua painters to add the color and sponged with "going gray" on the white and "Basic Gray" on the next card. I made this for SC164...yes I know I skipped one...
The papers are an old SU rose, Perfect Plum , Sage Shadow and Basic Gray. Images are stamped in Basic Gray except the wish which is in Perfect Plum. The sentiments on both cards come from, " Warm Words"

I used Cross hatch and sponging ont he Sage Shadow Card stock, and Sage shadow Water color wonder to paint the stems and leaves. the flowers are a mixture of regal rose perfect plum and pretty in pink with a little outline of Stardust sakura gel pen, the water has Sakura Clear glaze pen over it. Heroart gemstone on the "i" to tie in the Perfect Plum coloring and D'vine Swirl Cuttlebugging to add detail to the Basic Gray panel.
Trying to Blog Quickly! so I am not spending too much time on the computer, and have more time to create ... I hope you still enjoy the cards if you need better explanations, please ask...
Until later... Happy Stamping!
I understand you on the blogging more quickly thing. Love your cards!
