Happy holidays

This card follows the sketch for Try stampin' - or not - on Tuesday 374, with the option of 'anchors away':

The background paper is from a magazine freebie and the toppers from an old unknown kit, with the addition of the little rubber flip flops and the little sailing boat embellishment. The Happy Holidays sentiment were generated on my dymo letratag with clear tape.

Memories are treasures ...

This card is based on the sketch for Atlantic 275:

Sending birthday wishes just for you

I used a cream/ivory card blank. The embossed panel was upcycled from an old card, with the addition of the Hobbycraft flowers, sentiment and the garden oval, which are edges with gold foiling (although it looks more like black here). A couple of strips of gold trim bordered the embossed panel (the piece on the right wasn't long enough, but covered the bits either side of the oval.
