Two cards // Two challenges...

First card:

Inspired By // #IB157 ...A sketch and photo challenge!  I love the strings of flowers in this photo.  I reminds me of the floral mobile that my daughter and I made for above her daughters crib.  I pulled the colors, flowers, and hanging string from the photo and used the sketch very loosely.  

 

Second card:
