CARDS FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS!

Here are two cards I have recently made for family and friends, using simple shapes.  The one above, which is 6 inches square, benefits from the contrast between the layered, textured painted background and the smoothness and precision patterns of the papers used for the simple flower shapes.  A black marker pen and a silver metallic pen finished off the design.   

The above card is larger - 8 inch square and is a very simple heart design. It is for a nephew's wedding.  The papers used are handmade by me, and include some interesting recycled bits!  The only embellishment that I felt it needed was edging the two inner layers with some walnut ink.
