Yay, time for cards!

I finally got some time to make a couple of cards tonight. Neither of them have a specific purpose, therefore they don't have any kind of sentiment anywhere on them.

The first one is the one I'm a little less fond of. It's large compared to the sizes that I usually stick to; 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. I've been trying to push myself out of my comfort zone to try new things. All of the paper is from a floral paper pack by paperbok. The ribbon are from a $1 shelf I found at AC Moore. When I figure out what it will be used for then I plan to stamp a sentiment on the same cream-colored paper and adhere it using pop-dots somewhere in the middle of the card.

The second card is my favorite out of these two. The paper is from the same floral paper pack. The big sparkly flower is cut from the very center of a large-print floral page and set on pop-dots. I tried a couple of "outside of the box" (at least for me they are) things on this card. I ran an eraser around the edges of the design paper and distressed the edges of the red strip. Again, I don't want to specify it for anything since I have no known need for a card in the near future.
