Two fabulous project, Kathy. Love the monochrome style on both card. This guitar is really pretty over the stencilled background and I love your doodled border too. Thanks so much for sharing and for playing along at Less is More.
Both cards are beautiful. The second one is my favorite. Thanks for joining the Stinkin' Inkers challenge.
From someone who flips between CAS and fully loaded + Let me assure you both your cards in this post a delightfully CAS. It was the second one that caught my eye at Cardz 4 Galz so glad you kept it monochrome it is visually very striking. x
Two fab cards Kathy as always. I have that rock star set and never thought of using the guitar. Plenty of white space too. Thanks for sharing with us at Less is More,
