Dittoing Darnell here... THUD! These are completely breathtaking Marybeth! If I were these companies, I would add you to the design team ASAP :D I love the both, but I have to say that striped one with the embossed stitching is out of this world!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are so beautifully done! I really like the way your boxes turned out...and the card with the stitching stamps really looks like stitching. Well done!
ReplyDeleteMarybeth I swear your cards just get better every time I pop by your blog! These two are both absolute stunners...it took me a while to work out how you had done the presents lol and I think you've done the perfect amount of gold spots. The Casology one is just gorgeous...so beautifully subtle in the background but a fabulous bold sentiment. Love it!
