CASE'd cards

Hi everybody from a very cold Northern Ireland.  It is bright and dry but very windy and cold.  Both of my cards today are taken from ideas  I have seen on other blogs.  I liked the ides so much that I wanted to make a version of them.  The first card is from the desk of the wonderful Linda Duke  (http://www.lindaduke.typepad.com/).  Those of you who are not familiar with her work should take a look at her blog - she makes the most beautiful cards.  I also have to thank my good friend Jeannie for the loan of the Poppy Die.  This is my version of Linda's card.

                             
My second card is taken from the desk of the equally marvellous Bekka Feeken  (http://www.amazingpapergrace.com/)  again Bekka's blog is well worth a visit.  This is my version of her card.

                               
Thank you for visiting today and taking a look.

    Thank you so much for mentioning that paper for me Marie-Louise. It's definitely not the same thing, because it's too light weight. I think I would like the Centura Pearl much better!

    I looked up the company you mentioned and bookmarked it!
