A Masculine Birthday Card

Despite a busy busy week I squeaked in a challenge card –

I used this week’s Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge #374. 

I simply layered this card up and up.  DP – La Creme Matstack, Stamps – Paper Smooches and Finnabair Clear Stamp in Versafine Onyx. 

HOPEFULLY will get more time to create over this weekend!

Turtle Trio Card

 

I have to admit my card is appropriately designed as far as graphics because it really did take me a looonnng time to make and it was sloooow going.  I based it on this week's Muse Challenge #186 - here's the lovely sample card by Anita Bowden given:

 

Lucky me, not only have I been enjoying time visiting my sister Nina this past week, I've also been raiding her craft supplies and getting some creative time in with her.  I used the basic layout and look of Anita's card as a model, using a trio of turtles and the single line sentiment in the same position.  My supplies included a WeR embossing folder with the base cardstock, the sweet turtles stamped by The Stamps of Life  - Turtle2love, scraps of glittery designer paper scraps for the "shells" and the placing of semi transparent sequins for the little touch of magic at the end.  

Enjoying my time by the sea,

With galoshes on - my sister and me.
