S&S Sketches 15 & 16

Two more S&S sketches for you today. I'm slowly wittling away at them.  Are you one of the many people who resolved to get them all done this year?

My take on sketch 15:

The stamps are all from Hero Arts Big Candles. I used an EK border punch and Copics to color the candles. I inked the white edges with black to make them blend a bit better. A good masculine birthday card, I think.

Here is sketch 16:

I embossed the blue with Polka Dots and the flowers are from Our Craft Lounge Pretty Petals. I colored them with Copics, cut them out and popped with some dimensionals. I like the look of only half the corners rounded and find myself doing it a lot more lately.

I hope you're having a good Saturday. And if you have nice weather, send some here please. We had snow again today!
