Two birthday cards

This first card is for a four year old boy.  The pirate and parrot are decoupaged.  I had to cut everything out - damn the non pop-out type! 

The second card is for a 20 year old boy who is a referee.  I found this one quite hard and had to search long and hard for a referee - they obviously aren't popular!  I then coloured it in.  I like the dark green background which has a texture to it that reminds me of grass.

Birthday Cards

I have made a start on this years birthday cards.  Still many to go!

A nautical theme card.  I love the Magic Motifs range - which allow you to put a sticky pattern down, that you can then fill it with any glitter you like.  On this I've used a boat and a seagull.

A customer at work is turning 90 next week, so I made her this simple balloon card.

The flower in the middle is made out of small beads, and sparkles really nicely.  The background paper has an elegant swirly pattern and it's finished off with leaf and flower embellishments.

  A card for any gardening fan.  The paper was too nice to stick anything over it, so I let it speak for itself and just added some flowers and a watering can to finish it off.
