Some birthday cards

Hey there - happy November! Did you enjoy the extra hour of sleep if you "fell back"? We didn't hand out any treats this year for Halloween - so sad not to see all the little kiddies in their costumes last night! Instead we ate a jumbo bag of assorted candies - sorry kids!!

This weekend I worked on cards for November birthdays, starting with one for my nephew:



Supplies: Paper - Ms Sparkle green A2 card; 
Graphic 45 & BoBunny patterns;
Poptone Black Licorice; Neenah White
Dies - My Favorite Things Blueprints (retired);
Other - star gems (thanks again, Heather!);
Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Strips Birthdays;
Hero Arts clear lacquer; 
Copic Markers (C1, C3, BG0000, G00, G02, E30)

Such a fun image for a guy and on the inside I used another SSS sentiment strip that said "You're not getting older; you're increasing in value". Very true of neffypoo! I'm adding this one to Watercooler Wednesday's All Occasion Challenge hosted by Karen.

Next, I used another stitched panel my sister Tami made for me. It's a large one so needed an A7 card. All I did on this one was use Copics to color within the outline stitching, mat the panel and add to a card with a few gems. Tami used her embroidery machine to stitch right on patterned paper (sorry - don't know the brand) backed with fusible interfacing (correction - just plain). So fun!! If you missed my previous post with a different panel Tami stitched, see it here.



That's it for today - thanks for stopping by!!
