Dragon Birthday card

I have a wonderful great nephew that is turning 7 this month, so I pulled out my Dream Big stamp set from Lawn Fawn, as well as their Happy Birthday die, and put his card together.

I am playing along with the Lunar New Year Challenge - excited to be participating for the first time!

Rainbow cards

I have LOVED this stamp set ever since Close To My Heart came out with it a few years ago.  I've seen a lot of rainbow themed cards lately, and thought that this font would be perfect to do up a bunch of fairly generic birthday cards for my kids to give to their friends.  I did up a few different versions with different accessories:

 

and the plain & manly version:

 

Patterned papers are Dotty for You; Cardstock is Black & White Daisy; Stamp sets are Polka Dot Alphabet & Happy Birthday; Inks are Tulip, Sunset, Creme Brulee, Pear, Pacifica & Black.

Color Throwdown Challenge #141 & Ribbon Carousel #2

This card is for a couple of challenges, I used this week's Color Throwdown Challenge colours:

I also wanted to participate in a new blog's weekly challenge, the Ribbon Carousel (RCC2) who has a Shabby Chic challenge.  So I pulled out my Mayberry papers which have a vintagey feel to them, made a paper flower and grunged it up a bit with some cocoa ink:

Two Challenges

This card incorporates both the Heart2Heart challenge for this week, as well as the Mojo Monday sketch...  H2H called for a patriotic card, so in honour of Canada's 133rd birthday this Thursday, this is what I came up with:

All supplies are CTMH: Stamp sets are Trans Canada (retired), Spot On Backgrounds and Happy Birthday (sentiment); patterned paper is from Canada Day; cardstock is Cocoa & Parchment; inks are Cranberry and Cocoa; Pewter brad.
