A Couple Cards

Here are a couple of cards I made on Saturday.

This one is a thank you card for Jael's soccer coach. She gave it to him just before her tournament games on Saturday. Her team played four games Friday and Saturday, but they didn't advance to the Sunday level. She had a great time. Go Soccer Girl!

And, this is the card I made for Allan for our anniversary on Saturday. This is the first time I have tried the emboss resist technique.
