Two for you today

I have two cards to share today, the first one is a baby boy card and the second one is the valentine for my husband this year. I'm really happy with how they both turned out and would love to hear what you think. I finally was able to get my hands on blending stumps and odorless mineral spirits yesterday so I could actually use my Prismacolor pencils that I bought months ago. These two cards are my first attempts at using them so keep in mind I am definitely still learning how to use them.

Cardstock: Enchanted Evening, Aqua Mist, Lemon Tart, White (from my stash)

I also found out after creating my valentine that Dustin has opened up a challenge blog as well and guess what? The first challenge was to create a Valentine's card using one of his images. SCORE. I'm excited to get to participate in this challenge - especially since my card was already made :)
