After feeling sick for a bit, I finally felt well enough and was able to breathe enough to be creative tonight! I made two new cards with the same layout but much different styles. This first one I had in mind as a congratulations, enoouragement or graduation card, using bolder colors.

The second is a bit mellower, with more of a vintage feel. The original idea of the card is inspired by Nichole Heady's card here . I was thinking about my friend when I made this and will send it to her to congratulate her as she enters a new chapter in her life.
