Thinking of You // Happy Birthday

 2 Cards...


Card #1 inspired by 2 challenge...

CAS Colours & Sketches // #516 ...A sketch challenge!!  Found this embossed designer paper stashed away...it is perfect for this sketch with the boarder of butterflies & vines and matching jumbo florals for cutting out.

The Paper Players // #PP651 ...A game board challenge!!  My winning three in a row on this tic-tac-toe board: blue, feminine, and flowers!!  A winning combination for this birthday card!!  




Card #2 inspired by 2 challenges...

INKspirational Challenges // #IC295 ...A technique challenge!!  Use stencils!!  Stencils are so fun to use, they create great backgrounds, and add dimension to cards.

Retro Rubber Challenge // #rrcb211 ...A game board challenge!!  Your choice, die cut, and stencil are my winning three in a row on this game board.  For this challenge we are also suppose to use stamps that are over a year old.  My sentiment stamp is very retro...one of the first sets I bought over 20 years ago when I started as a Stampin Up demonstrator.  My stencil and die are also over a year old, so this card is all kinds of retro!!
