Quick and simple cards

Well, one is quick and simple. The other is a little more time consuming. I had some more time yesterday to make cards, and I came up with two (I'm a slow poke, I know)

Okay, here's the not so simple one. This is for this week's Viva La Verve sketch with a twist- the twist was to distress. I was really nervous to try this, so I put it off until yesterday. Well, it turned out to be easy (even though you can't tell from the photo- use your imagination!)

I used my PTI Guidelines set on two of the blue layers, and then used my "distressing tool" (aka my scissors!) to rough up all the edges. I also sponged on the sentiment panel to give it a little bit rougher look.
