Thoughts and Prayers Pop Up Diorama

I decided to try a pop up diorama flipped on its side and with ovals. It works. LOL.
I used one of my all time favorite sympathy sets and inked up the flower with SU coordinating markers then huffed and stamped on white. I used the punched out oval on the inside of the card to layer the sentiment.
Hope you like it. This will be it for me until Monday as I have to be up at 4am to work the rest of the week :(
RECIPE:
Paper: White, Blackberry Bliss, Pear Pizzazz, Pool Party, DCWV Mediterranean dp

Love you in Numbers

This is for today's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 521 - Negative & Positive, and Monday's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 312 - Age is just a number. This card started as also including today's Mojo Sketch but I failed at it so took a slight turn and still not sure I like the end result. I cut and embossed the solid red heart using both dies then cut out the pink heart and sponged with the die in place using cherry cobbler ink. I glued the removed sections out to the cherry cobbler heart and popped it up over the negative cut and sponged heart.
My sentiment was cut from Ginger alphabet form Quickutz, I used the 7 for the L , zero for the O, V for the V, and 3 for the E.
Hope you like it better than I do.
RECIPE:
Stamps: none 
Paper: pink pirouette, cherry cobbler, vanilla, the Paper studio - Love You dp 
Ink: Cherry Cobbler 
Accessories: Spellbinder Swirl Heart, Ginger Quickutz letter v, numbers 7 & 3

I may try something else if I ever get to sleep and wake up later. I just bought this embossing folder today at Joanne's. The name escapes me and I am downstairs trying not to wake the dh by going back upstairs to see the name. Will add later this morning. I embossed the folder on white then brushed melon mambo across the raised portions and matted on melon mambo and added some bling. I used some pink pirouette underneath and stamped the sentiment in melon mambo.
