Saturday Sketch challenge SSC134 & Color Inspiration #106

hi there, I have finally gotten back to the Stamping 411's challenges!
I woke up quite early with stamping on the brain... ;)
then mother nature provided some awesome inspiration in my back yard & the Stamping 411 crew 'insisted' on the rest ;)
lucky for me I was able to pull off 2 challenges in one round, plus I'm still 'suffering' from Zindorf syndrome (boy, she's amazingly talented!)...

both cards answer the Saturday Sketch SSC134 & Color Inspiration #106:
