A friend celebrated her big birthday recently and I made her this Flying Seagull card.
The flower is a stamp from the Woodware 'Mini Flowers' set, coloured with Promarkers. The papers are from The Range. I used number dies from the Works. Three enamel dots finished off my card.
I am joining in the following challenges:
A second card today, made for my nephew. He isn't particularly interested in sport or drinking, so I always find his card difficult to make. I decided on a CAS underwater theme.
I use a snippet of silver mirror card with a Memory Box 'Oceana Corner' die. The blue card was also from my blue snippets drawer, so I'll be sharing my card over in the Snippets Playground.
I am joining in the following challenges:
Both beautiful cards Liz, very different but equally well designed, a fabulous fold, lovely colours and papers on the first, love that die cut on the gorgeous CAS undersea card for your nephew.

Two great cards--perfect for the people you made them for!
ReplyDeleteYour Flying Seagull card is such a joyful celebration—love how the bold yellow flower pops against the patterned papers, and the fun fold adds a delightful surprise. The underwater theme for your nephew is a clever choice, especially with that intricate die cut and sleek mirror card detail. Both designs show your thoughtful approach to matching style with personality!
