Happy Birthday Dad!

I'd love to say I managed to do 2 cards in one night, as well as spend 2 hours at the gym but it would be plain lie!

It's my dad's birthday in a couple of weeks so I've made him this card in preparation.

Hopefully he'll like!

After making it I realised it would even fit a couple of challenges (we all know I love challenges!)

Whimsy Stamps - Theme is Birthday
Daring Cardmaker - Use Blue and Green
Nutshells - Make a male card using blue and green





Here's how I made it:
Papers - Papermania Secret Garden.
Stamp - Lili of the Valley - "Moggi - Guess What?" and letters are Hero Arts Clear Design Pattern Alphabet
Moggi is coloured with H2Os
Letters are stamped with Teal and Turqoise Pigment inks from Colorbox Cat's Eye and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. They are stuck onto the card with 3d foam pads to give some dimension.
Card stock is from stash
Ribbon is from Dovecraft Muted Ribbons set
Gems are from John Lewis

Hope you like it!

Summertime fun!

Hi All,

Managed to make another card tonight! This card covers the following challenges

Daring Card Makers - "I want to see card creations using only sizzling hot yellow based colours"

Scrappy Frogs - "Fun in the sun"

Lili of the Valley - "Summer Fun"

Nutshells - "Summer Sunshine"

Stamp Something - I used their sketch.

Here's the card.

Updated to include materials:

The patterned papers are all freebies from a magazine. Card stock is from stash.

The image is from the the nutshells blog! Such a nice image to work with! She's painted with twinkling H2Os. The card stock she's backed on I punched flowers out of with a small fiskars flower punch.

Ribbon is dovecraft grosgrain ribbon. Sentiment is Lili of the Valley and I doodled a heart on the scalloped circle to match the heart from her skirt. Flower is a prima flower.
