Two Birthday Cards with Freshly Made Sketch #677

 Here are two masculine cards I made inspired by Freshly Made Sketch #677. The first uses washi tape stripes with a vertical gold embossed sentiment (Vertical Greetings from SU many years ago) and the second features banners and Friendly Seagulls (Stampin' Up Sale-abration special 2025) and SU Itty Bitty Birthdays.

Which do you like better?

I’m also entering this card into the following challenges:

     Creative Knockouts #542--Happy Birthday

     Seize the Birthday #301--Optional Topping--anything that flies

      Addicted to Stamps and More #488--Birthdays

     

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!

Golf Themed Card with Atlantic Hearts Sketch #415

Here is the third card I've made with alcohol inked backgrounds.  I used one of the panels as the center focal panel for this gold themed card.  The background paper colors are Lagoon and Sapphire and the stamp sets are retired from Stampin' Up:  Clubhouse and Vertical Greetings.  The Stitched Rectangle Frame Thin Cut Dies and Dies from the Clubhouse set were also used with Silver Foil paper and Antique Gold Shimmer paper from Recollections.  A True Blue Shades Tri-Blend Marker was used to frame the greeting.

Below is the Atlantic Hearts Sketch #415 that inspired my card creation.  Our challenge is open until Sunday evening, April 11 and we look forward to seeing what you can create.
