"Stretch Your Stamps" day 2 projects

Today is day 2 of stretch your stamps with Kristina and Jennifer and I am really glad I have signed up.  Even though these are nothing like the cards I usually make I can see myself incorporating the techniques in my image cards as backgrounds, tags etc.

I haven't had time to do yesterdays cards but I have done the following cards for today's techniques...

This one is using the iron off embossing technique and colour blocking.  I used Hero Arts Misty Garden woodblock stamp and Hero Arts - Studio Calico Hey Day Sentiments for the stamping, along with Great Friend from Stampin Up.

For this card I made up a collage background with Hero Arts Misty Garden, a script stamp and the butterfly from SU's Great Friend.  I used the water embossing technique on this card although it hasn't shown up very well in the photo.

Thanks for looking :)
