Another greeting card gift set

For my friend's birthday a few weeks ago, I created another greeting card set and gave it to her along with some homemade chocolate chocolate chip cookies. I put the cookies in plastic goodie bags and then made a little box to carry the cookies. I only took a photo of the cookies from the front. I wish I had taken a photo from the side...oh well...

 Here are photos of the cards I created as her birthday gift:

Card #1

Stamps: Watercolor Trio (retired)
Paper: Soft Suede CS, Marina Mist CS, Elegant Soiree DSP (retired), Thoroughly Modern DSP (retired)
Ink: Soft Suede, Old Olive, Marina Mist
Accessories: Big Shot, Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Large Oval punch, crystal rhinestones

My favorite technique these days is to sponge the edges of the card stock. I think it gives it some texture and a real vintage feel.

I also curled the corner a little bit on this one just to add a little something extra.

Card#2

I added my friend's initials as a monogram on the envelopes. It gave me a chance to practice the masking technique which (surprisingly) I never tried until now.
