Treat to Work With

I wanted to make a couple of cards for coworkers to thank them for helping put in some challenging grants recently. Our team is small but mighty skilled if I must say so myself.

I made the cards similar using largely the same products but different colors, etc. Check out how the change in stenciled background, designer paper color, and critters makes such a difference in look.  And notice I used the same Copics for both.

I'm entering the first card in Lawn Fawnatics #176 Fun with Food and the second in Paper Players #697 Summer Fun.
