A Birthday Card for the Paper Craft Crew Challenge #302, Seize the Birthday, and Freshly Made Sketches Sketches #349

Hello everyone!! I hope you all had a great day. It was a very hot day today so I spent some time in my craft room. I created some cards for some challenges.

My first card is a birthday card.





I used the Hello Bluebird "Pig Day" and My Favorite Things Stamp "Happy Hippos" to create my card.


I masked off the back to make a background with Twisted Citrus and Dusty Concord Distress Ink. 


The images were colored in with Copic Markers. I covered certain parts with a Sparkle Marker and Glossy Accents.

My next card I created using Freshly Made Sketches #349 as my inspiration.

I started off using the Doodlebug Design "Happy" die cut from the Sweet Summer. I used patterned paper from the coordinating 6 by 6 Sweet Summer Collection paper pad.


The hippo is from My Favorite Things "Happy Hippos" stamp set. They were colored in using Copic markers. The balloons were covered with Sparkle marker and Glossy Accents.


The "birthday" stamped sentiment is from Paper Trey Ink.


I am sending both these cards off to college with Charlotte to use for friends' birthdays.

Now one more card that I created for a private FB board I am on.


I made this for a friend that lost his mother. The cross is from "Paper Smooches," the flowers are Simon Says Stamp and I am not sure where the stencil is from.


The sentiment is from Paper Trey Ink.


Well that is all from me today. I thank you for stopping by. Have a great night!!
