BIRTHDAY TWOFER

I had fun creating these two birthday cards today for the AAA Birthday Challenge, AAA Cards (7th birthday challenge) and Fusion (inspiration colors - pink chair, flowers, blue lampshade, gold - also the pp sort of follows the sketch).


For the basis of my first birthday greeting, I die cut the sentiment from a piece of patterned paper and carefully kept all the little bits.  I trimmed the piece and adhered to fit a mini slimline card base.  Next I cut a white HB piece and fit that into the empty space - and then the putzy part - putting all the little pp bits in between the spaces. Added a few gold sequins and done with #1.

On the second card, I die cut three more birthday sentiments from heavy white cardstock, glued together and then adhered the patterned piece on top.  This went onto the black base and then onto a white mini slimline card base.  Added a few pale pink dew drops and done.



Thanks for visiting today.
