Weekend Fun - Card Challenges

Okay I admit it, I'm a wimp when it comes to the Central Valley summer heat!  So what better excuse than to hide out in my crafty den and work on that final box of cards for Operation Write Home finishing strong.  I have two cards today that were created using Kristie's awesome 6x6 tutorial & OWH Sketches. 

Card #1  A a while back I stamped and clear embossed this cute little firefly bug jar.  The multiple layers of  clear embossing gives it a glass effect.  Unfortunately you can't really see it in this photo. It's also a lot brighter and teal toned then today's soft light captured.

 Since it has the general color scheme and lightning bugs I'm entering it into this Waffle Flower Photo Inspiration Challenge.

Card #2 is a Thank You card using the adorable Tiddly Inks Birds in a Line Digi Stamps,  They are so much fun to color.  And those little blank note cards are perfectly sized for my little letter stamps!  I'll be entering this card into the July OWH ODBD Challenge.
