Ways to say "Thanks"!

Who doesn't need lots of thank you cards?  I just love that there are so many ways to say "Thanks"!  I used a few online challenges and created two cards to share today.

 First up, I found a new to me challenge blog, CAS on Sunday. I love the sketch they are using so I sat down to play.  The sketch has three elements going down the card.  I used a leaf branch stamp and stamped that three times on my card.  I inked the stamp with two colors of Distress Stain, spritzed that with water and stamped them onto watercolor paper. It might be a little hard to actually see the leaves since the ink ran a bit. I love the look though.

 I finished the card with one stamped flower and a sentiment. All of the stamps are from Wplus9 Designs.  

Here is the CAS on Sunday sketch.

 This also fits the CAS-ology FLOWER challenge.

 For my next card I just had to use the amazing color combination at Colour Q. I just loved the mix of bright and happy colors.  I created a fun background with a stencil and some Distress Stains on watercolor paper. 

 To add all of the other colors, I used a Paper Smooches banner die, a "thanks" word die and an Avery Elle flower stamp.  

Here is the Colour Q combo.

Plus this card fits the Addicted to CAS challenge.
