I worked on a couple of birthday cards in the recent past. This one:
I used the CTMH Hawthorn paper pack, and card-making stamp set and the CTMH You're Not Old stamp set (all retired). It always seems like I don't get a chance to make anything while the products are still current! I used a sponge dauber on the faux corrugated cardboard paper to colour the edges so they weren't so white.
I feel like it needs a little something else. I made this card a week and a half ago, and I haven't decided yet what it "needs." :)
I also made this one on the weekend, using a shell stencil from Dollarama to make my own patterned paper. I used CTMH Peacock, Lagoon and Glacier inks and a blender brush with the stencil. I used the Little Dreamer stamp set (for the banner and Thin Cut), Friendly Wishes (for the sentiment) and Swirly Seashells (all retired!) for the seashell in the middle.
If I had to do it over again, I might emboss the shell to make it stand out a little more. But overall, I'm happy with how everything turned out!
Thanks for checking out my cards. Have a great Thursday! :)
