On the Go

Masculine cards are the theme at Late Night Stampers this week and I thought I would tie in my oldest son's 10th birthday card with the challenge.  It is hard to believe he is going to be 10 already!!

These are some hybrid cards I made by printing the designer series paper from My Digital Studio.  The collection is called On the Go and is perfect for boys.

This is another card I made with the same printed paper and some fun preview items - don't you love those fun buttons?

Inspired Birthday

This week's challenge at Late Night Stampers is to use some retiring items and it isn't hard to find some this year with so many wonderful stamp sets and accessories that are going to be gone.

For this card, I chose Inspired by Nature and Happiest Birthday Wishes as my retiring items. 

I added a few drops of Crystal Effects to make the flowers look like they have raindrops on them.

I have a bunch of watercolor paper that I played with last fall just waiting for stamped images and I pulled a piece out for this card and stamped an image from the Artistic Etchings stamp set on it.

The background is strips of Bashful Blue card stock adhered to a Very Vanilla layer.  After I attached them together, I used the Big Shot and the Finial Press impressions folder.
