Big Birthday's

There have been a couple of significant birthdays I needed to make cards for recently and one of them was for my lovely Dad. I was totally inspired and in awe of the fabulous colouring of the wine bottle and glass on this card by the talented Francine so I had to have a go myself...

I'm pretty chuffed with how they turned out :)

The rest of the wording is made up using various stamps and alphabets sets to make a block of typography around the images...... trust me, it took a lot of planning on scrap paper!!!

This second card was for one of my hubbies work colleagues and I wasn't sure how they 

would feel about the birthday number so I played it relatively safe with subtle humour....

I spotted this sentiment on Pinterest and thought it would work with negative die-cutting 

and some pastel floral over-stamping for a feminine feel....

The Neat and Tangled Journaling Alpha dies are just so cool to use for negative die-cutting

and easy to line up too.... luckily I had no repeat letters in this phrase so I could cut them with 

two passes through the ol' Big Shot 😉

Thanks for stopping by :)
