Another tulip card using up the last of the ones I cut out the other day. This time I made them yellow!
I made this card last year for Roy's great-niece's birthday. She has been unicorn mad for a few years now and I've made her one or two items in the past. You can see them here and here. She's also a keen golfer.
My card making skills are decidely rusty after my break! It took me two days to make this card! I needed a birthday card for Roy's niece and although I have a few ready made ones, none seemed quite right.
Apparently my youngest grandson has found a new interest - darts! His birthday list consisted of all dart related items. So of course that became my theme for his card. I used an aperture card from my stash and printed off a piece od paper that vaguely looked like a dart board. The image is from Dr Digi and was coloured with Copics then fussy cut.
It was my son's partner's birthday last month. I wanted to make her a card that was a bit personal and as she is a singer I thought this stamp set from Visisble Image fitted the bill perfectly.
Recently it was Roy's birthday and as he is still very miltary minded , even though he has been out of the army getting on for forty years, I thought that Cpl Clegg from Dr Digi was very appropriate.
It is my youngest grandson's birthday next month and his current passion is rugby. Of course despite the huge amount of stash I've got I could only find one very small silhouette stamp. I did do a web search for a digital stamp but could only find old men or very cute little boys playing. Neither were suitable fpr a 14 going on 18 year old!
Today I have for you two of the 'same but different' cards. Roy;s great niece is obsessed with unicorns, so I went looking for unicorn stamps and found these sweet ones from Lawn Fawn. I decided to make two cards while I had them out as the little girl next door is 4 later this month.
Earlier in the year I received a pinwheel tower card and have been meaning to have a go at making one ever since. It's only taken me eight months to get round to it!
It was surprisingly easy. The hardest part was deciding how to decorate it. It was for a special blog friend's birthday, who I am fairly certain is very fond of purple.
Both my grandsons are big X Box fans! So what better than to make an appropriate card for the eldest. I used an image from Mo's Digital Pencil which I had printed out some time ago, which was fortunate as my computer now says it can't read the image!
Challenges:
It's a long, long time since I last entered the Less Is More challenge. The photo board inspiration caught my eye this week, so decided to have a play.
Here's the next of my April birthday cards. This time it's for my youngest son. I usually try to do one that relates to his interests - at the moment it is only mountain biking and I've totally run out of ideas. I've been making them for about the last four or five years!
The beginning of April brings a number of family birthdays, all fairly close together. The first one is Roy's. As many of you will know he is a keen collector of model soldiers, so when I came across this stamp from Picture This last year I had to buy it, and had been waiting to ink it ever since.
My youngest son is a very keen mountain biker but I am finding it difficult to come up with ideas for his birthday cards. This is the one I made for him using some photos he had taken on a biking holiday in Whistler. He had a great time there and was delighted to have seen a bear on one of his rides.
