Good evening!  I'm slowly catching up on some of my card making and things at home are finally starting to slow down.  I seem to have lost my mojo for a few days, but tonight I'm here with two cards for you and I hope you like them.

I wanted to make a card for this week's clean and simple challenge on splitcoast stampers.  I thought this week's challenge sounds like a fun one!  It's a color challenge using dark blue and white.  I decided to use a stamp set that I haven't used before.  This image is from a retired SU set called Kindred Spirits.

I stamped my image and then ran it through my big shot machine using my square lattice embossing folder.  I only embossed the top 3/4 portion of my card stock.  I wanted to leave a little bit at the bottom that wasn't embossed so that I was able to add my sentiment.

Just below my embossed area I stamped my sentiment and then just below my sentiment I added two score lines using my simply score tool.  The bottom of my midnight muse card stock was cut using the finishing touches framelits.  And since I wanted to keep my card simple I decided to just add a few basic pearls for my embellishment.

This is a card I made a few weeks ago for a splitcoast clean and simple challenge and that week's challenge was a sketch challenge.  I was debating whether or not I liked the way my card turned out and if I should post it.  Yep, not every card I create makes it onto my blog, but anyway..... here you go :) 

This was easy enough to make.  It was just a matter of coloring my stamp using my SU markers and then stamping my sentiment.
