Gini said...

Both cards are fabulous!
The quality of the drawing on those digi's is wonderful but it's your colouring that make them stunning :-)
That's a super touch with the railing diecut instead of ribbon and I love the shaped sentiment on your easel card.
You seem to have ditched the glamour dust in favour of SU fine glitter these days, is it very similar?
(Not that I am the Glamour Dust police you understand - no not at all LOL)
