Onto my first card for today....

 I used the *NEW* 'Thanks' large word die as well as the arrow from the *NEW* Speech Bubble dies set. I cut out 'Thanks' in different colors  as well as the arrow and layered them on top of each other for a 3D effect. The background was made with Distress Markers, the TH Spritz Tool and a stamp from the Distressed Backgrounds and Ink Splats set.

 


For my second card I used the *NEW* Basic Backgrounds & Borders stamp set, *NEW* Stitched Borders die trio, *NEW* SAY WHAT? stamp set and Speech Bubble die set



   


We hope you've enjoyed this release!
Thanks so much for hopping with us and good luck!

Hugs,

  12. Both cards are great but I really like the wave card. I'll have to use that idea. The first card is great with the splatters and "wire".
    thanks for sharing two wonderful cards.
