Beautiful RAK cards

This has been a long week and it's only Wednesday. Early mornings at work and busy nights. I apologize that I haven't been more prompt in posting the cards I've received from the Papertrey Ink RAK group I'm part of.

The first card I received was from Heather in Germany. I love the way she's folded over the punched ovals in the upper left corner. I don't own the Beautiful Blooms set but I've been eying it for a long time and I think her card has tipped the scale in favor of it being my next MUST HAVE set.

The second card is from Sheri in Arizona. It's hard to see in the photo but the base paper has a slight opalescence to it which adds a subtle sheen to the ink colors. The color she used for the pot and the sentiment stamp is so different (I always use plain ol' brown for my pot when I use my Green Thumb set) and coordinates perfectly with the purple in the flowers. Can you help but love the grasshopper, too?

Thank you both very much for making it exciting to pick up my mail!

I have more to share but I'm about asleep at my keyboard so it will have to wait. Have a good night.
