| Birthday Cards |
I made two more birthday cards, using supplies I had on hand.
 |
| Purple Lace and Rhinestones |
Cream card stock, overlaid with lilac card stock and a bit of beige card stock, polka dotted border around, a bit of the Happy Birthday printed paper matted with a different shade of purple card stock and, because it looked too plain, a bit of purple lace laid over the lilac and beige strips at the top. I felt it needed a little more embellishing, so, I took three stick-on rhinestones (leftover from when daughter took dance classes and we embellished her costumes for performances) and added them to the card for a bit of "bling".

| White Lace and Buttons |
The second card also started out with cream card stock; I overlaid it with a piece of thin paper which had tiny bits of wildflowers embedded in it. It's barely visible in the picture, above, but more visible on the card and it provides a little texture, as well. I used a piece of white embroidered lace to embellish this card and, because the purple strips looked too plain, I added some white buttons from my collection.
I think, without the Happy Birthday paper, these two cards can be adapted for any occasion. What do you think?
Oh Bless.. these are beautiful.. I just know, this is so much fun... and the person receiving them, will be thrilled.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think they could be for lots of different occasions.
Judy, thank you. :)
DeleteYou did great, Bless! The colors and textures make them so interesting and I think you're right ... They could be used for any occasion by replacing the "Happy Birthday." I love things that are multi-use!!!
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, thank you! I'm pleased with the way they turned out.
