Papertrey Ink's Women of Life Cards

I saw these two cards on two different blogs.
This first card is pretty much a CASE of this card created by Penny Hajiantoni
She won Guest Stamper of the Month over at Papertrey Ink for the Best Use of Stamps. I thought the card was gorgeous and this is my attempt at it. It was harder than it looked, let me tell you!

I stamped the acetate with White pigment ink. Then realized this ink takes forever to dry. Used a heat gun, which might have warped the acetate. So I tried a couple of other ways...stamping in Versamark then white heat embossing...but those looked worse than this one and ended up in the trash can.

I used Breeze and white cardstock, Women of Life stamp set from PTI, pearl brads from the bridal area at Michaels. Polka Dots are stamped using the Polka Dot Basics set from PTI. Ribbon is American Craft. I pop dotted a lot of it to give it a bit of depth.

This next card is also a CASE from this one shown on Nichole Heady's blog.
It's a 3 1/2 by 8 sized card. Nothing too out of the ordinary here. Just fiddled and futzed with it, until I was satisfied with how it looked.

I used Heavenly Blue cardstock and some ribbon from my stash. I stamped the Women of Life flowers in Heavenly Blue and Sweet Leaf, then added those acrylic discs I found at Michaels.

Thanks for looking!
