Today is a "three-fer". As in, three things in one. Well, in two, actually! Aw heck, let me explain. Here is how I get three from all this... First, the sketch used here was the Technostamper Sketch Challenge 29 from Monday -- which I am just a few days late on...
Second, today's Blogger's Challenge (59) is called "the same, but different" -- were we challenged with using a sketch of our choice to make two different cards with two diverse colors and stamps. I used MJ's sketch!
Finally, We are in the midst of a "Technique Blitz", so both of today's cards use techniques from the August 2008 issue of the TJ Newsletter. The first card, top, uses the Stenciled Collage Technique (8-08 TJNL) done on a Faux Denim Background (12-07 TJ). The stamps used here are from Oxford Impressions. I used an open-lined stamp over the stenciled area, and just lightly colored it in with colored pencils. I have a friend who loves horses, you see...
The second card, on the left, uses the Bandanna Technique from the 8-08 TJNL. These stamps are from Innovative Stamp Creations. Just love this stamp with that technique!Okay, 'nuff for today... Check out the other Blogger's Challenge players by clicking on the logo in my sidebar. Have fun browsing!

Awesome Pat...I'm loving that swirl stamp! The colors on both of your cards really caught my eye this week. Fabulous job on all accounts.
Great colors and I really like the swirl on #2!
Wonderful work Pat. The Stencil tehnique with the horse is so wonderful and the colors on your Bandana technique are stunning. ISC stamps are perfect for this technique. Fabulous job!
What a wonderful sketch for this challenge Pat! Both cards turned out beautifully! :D
Pat, Very nice cards. I love the different techniques you used. It's hard to decide which card I like best but I'm leaning to the Horse card for some reason.
Love the brads on the Wild West card, and the colors on the Bandanna card!
Go-jus, Pat! Simply beautiful!!!
Great job with this challenge, Pat. The horse is so cool!
That swirl stamp is amazing. I love this layout. Great job on both cards!!
Fantastic, Pat! Love the colors you chose. I've got to give that bandanna technique a try . . .

Beautiful cards Pat! I love to see how people do things differently. I used this same swirl stamp with my Bandanna technique for a mini album. You're right, this swirl is perfect for this technique.
Great cards, Pat! I like the sketch and the backgrounds are fantastic (really love the Bandana technique!)
Where to begin? I love both cards! They are both just wonderful! That swirl is great!!! I always love when people add white like that to things..I should probably try it too! Once again you are so inspiring!! Have a great weekend!
