Saffron and Indigo Birthday for Her

A friend of mine needed a birthday card for her daughter so what better reason to play along with this weeks sketch over at Seize the Birthday, since is a feminine card this week!

I used one of my favorite sets, Apothecary Arts. These images are so pretty and great for feminine cards. I took my colors, Island Indigo and So Saffron,  straight from the DSP I used( Tea For Two DSP from the spring mini). The main image panel is popped up with dimensionals as is the sentiment going across the panel. Soft sponging on all the layers gives the card a little more depth.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone is having a great Sunday! We're in the middle of a snowstorm with another big one due tomorrow and I am loving it!! :)

Moose Birthday

My daughters boyfriend turns 18 on Monday so I needed to get a birthday card made for him and how perfect, this week over at Seize the Birthday its a sketch for a masculine card.

Lucas was born and raised in Alaska, loves the outdoors, is a hunter, etc so I knew I wanted my card to reflect that. He always kids with me about my love with moose so the moose stamp from Decorative Pines is the perfect image to use. A few months ago he was out on his trapline and found some recently shed moose antlers and gave them to me, totally made my day!

Also, to go along with my moose theme my youngest alerted me to a moose in the yard while I was working on this card! This particular mom and baby have been hanging around in the area for about 3 weeks now and I never get tired of seeing them. Perfect inspiration :)

This is the baby across the street, having a snack:

 And here is Mama, munching on the trees that are between my house and the place next door:

Masculine Birthday Deer

I played along with a new challenge blog today, it is called Seize the Birthday. This is their 2nd challenge and you had to make a masculine birthday card with the sketch provided.

 I pulled out a great set for masculine cards, Nature Silhouettes(retired). I colored in the stamp with Early Espresso and Old Olive and stamped it on some Confetti Cream(retired) card stock. I used Well Worn DSP(retired) for the background, perfect masculine colors. The sentiment is popped up with dimensionals.
