I made these cards for today's inspiration challenge. This is my story!
1. I belong to the RAK group and I am on the welcoming committee for new members. I needed some welcome cards to send to new members so I made these.
2. I discovered something cool today, someone else has probably already done it but for me it's a first. I used the round tab punch for this card. After I punched it out, I put just the ends of it in my big round scallop punch and it scalloped the ends really cool. Just a different look and it coordinates good when the big scallop punches are being used.
3. Look at my cheesey watermark. This is my first time using one although I know better....I should have been doing it all along.
4. DawnL made me a really cool one but I can't get it on to my pictures because I can't figure it out on my computer. I am not so good with computers! Although.....everybody at work thinks I am a genius on computers, at work I am da woman! But that's only because they are really, really, really not good on computers! Yikes!
5. Someday, Dawn I will either figure it out or buy what I need to make it work but at least this will work for awhile!
Note! I also followed Beate's sketch challenge for this weekend. This is the first time I have done it. Here is the link to her challenge if you want to play: Blogs at Splitcoaststampers

That is a wonderful card! I love the brown monochrome and what you did with that punch to make a ribbon slider is truly cool! And I love the layout too. Thanks for playing!

Beautiful welcome cards! love all the dots on the DP and the ribbons - great technique with the scalloped circles- wonderful colors on these.
Wow - a watermark - Now you are truly a professional stamper !! I need to figure that out too - I don't think I have the correct software to do it though - have to study on that!
