Two Birthdays, Two Cards


My Mum & Dad's birthdays are a week apart so thought I would post these ones together.... the cricketer is a decoupage from Paper Nation and I have created the Happy Birthday Dad using my Cricut Design Software.
Mum's is stamped with a gorgeous stamp from Hero Arts 'Two Flourish Flowers', I stamped it with Color Box Chalks, Lavender and Olive Pastel, the background is a mix of Color Box again gently dabbed over and then the sides edged. The Mum is the negative of the Cricut cut out & then coloured this with Color Box Chalks the same as the background and put another piece of card behind it that was block coloured with the lavender chalk ink. All topped off with a few gems.
