Another Birthday Card

I warned you, we have a lot of November Birthday's to cover!  This one is for a Granddaughter back East.

 I used Melon Mambo for the card base and the next layer is Pink Pirouette ran through the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  I used the wide Black/White Striped Rbbon and stamped the Birthday circle from Happiest Birthday Wishes Stamp Set on Whisper White CS/Pink Pirouette CS/Melon Mambo CS and layered them after punching with Circle Punches and Scallop Circle Punch.  The bird from Language of Friendship Stamp Set is stamped onto Black CS with White Ink and I used clear embossing powder and punched it out with the Bird Builder Punch.  The flower is from the Every Moment Stamp Set, colored with Color Pencils and used the Blender Pen and cut it out.  The inside stamp of the 3 birds is from the Clearly for You Stamp Set.  Hope it gets there by Friday!

Sympathy Card

I recently sent this card to my Sister and BIL who lost their sweet FIL.  I used the Fabulous Florets Stamp Set and colored with pencils and the Blender Pen.  You can't really tell from the picture but the base card is Poppy Parade CS and the Scallop Trim Border punched edge is Pumpkin Pie CS.  The background paper is Baja Breeze CS and I ran that through the Flower Garden Embossing Folder and sponged with Early Espresso.  The little butterfly is from the Clearly For You Stamp Set using Baja Breeze Ink Pad and punched out with the Small Oval Punch.
