Male birthday

Hello again.  It's Judy back with another simple card.  This one I've done in muted colours suitable for a male birthday, but it could be done in any colour and for any occasion, with the right stamp.

I chose an olive green background and layered a patterned paper on grey card for the accent panels.

A few pearls in the bottom corner are the only embellishments needed.

An easy card and so adaptable.  Hope you like it.

Sweet Pea

Hello again.  My card today is made using a Kaisercraft pad called Sweet Pea, an All Dressed Up digi stamp and Tattered Forals die.  The paper pad was another freebie with a magazine subscription.  It's always nice to try something new when you haven't paid extra for it lol ;)

I used four papers from the pad and mounted two on to orange card.  The other two went onto an adhesive sheet to make a double sided paper to use for the flower.  This picture shows the paper on the reverse.  I did this to make the paper thicker and also in case the underside could be seen.  In the end I made a flat flower so I could have stuck with just one sheet!

The image was coloured with Promarkers and cut out freehand.  I mounted her on to some more orange card before adding to the finished card.

I used an 8 x 8 card blank and added a piece of green backing paper from my scrap box.  The edges of this and the other papers were smudged with Scattered Straw Distress Ink.  This is such a versatile colour.

The other layers were attached at angles to each other and my rub on sentiment applied to the top paper.

I added my girl, the tattered flower and a few drops of Olympic Gold PVA to finish off.  What do you think?
