2 cards for 2 sisters. To save myself from being dragged into a "mine is better than yours" altercation, I've made both cards identical.... well, almost identical.
 |
| Cool Britannia papers in blue. To cut out the centre panel I used Spellbinders Scalloped Square die. For embellishment: 3 blings in the top right corner. |
 |
| Inside - balloons for the birthday girl from Clearly Besotted's "Make A Wish" set. |
 |
| The balloon and greeting are from Clearly Besotted's Make A Wish set, stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black. |
 |
| I jazzed up the inside (since the card front is fairly simple) with Memento Rose Bud, Cantaloupe, Danube Blue and Bamboo Leaves. |
And now for some real fun:
Tuesday Morning Sketches #217 - sketch
Try It On Tuesday "Going Dotty" - on balloons
One Stitch At A Time #182 "Anything Goes"
Crafters' Cafe #30 "Die-cuts / Punch"
The Paper Shelter #130 "Stitching"
Crafting by Design "Anything Goes"
Charisma Card #38 "Inside"
Seize The Birthday "Anything Goes"
That's for now. Thanks for stopping by and I'll be skipping off to the Post Office. Come back tomorrow, will ya? I have a wee PolkaDoodle project to show you. Until then.... have a creative day, my friends!

ReplyDeleteIt always amazes me what a change of color can do to the look of a card. Even though you've used the same design and elements these cards look very different. A great set of cards - one for him and one for her!
