Two the same but different

Awww, last night of the Bake Off on telly, we're cheering for our local lad Andrew of course!  Wouldn't it be lovely to be there with your fork for a good old taste ;)  I'll have to make do with my Mr Kipling cake and cuppa!

I need some sympathy cards for my stash, so made it easy for myself by using the same Whipper Snapper stamp and the same DP pack.
I didn't have the right shade of watercolour pencil so mixed a couple together and think they turned out ok.
I also added sparkle to the flowers and a few random bits of bling.

Card 2 was a bit of a rush job as I was on a tight schedule for GBBO starting!  I've yet to add the sparkle to the flowers, but I'll do that tomorrow.
