Papertrey Ink Birthday cards

Hello everyone,
I hope you are having a great Bank Holiday weekend. The weather is not too bad, but it is not warm enough to sit in the garden so I don't feel guilty about spending some time crafting indoors to play catch up with the His ' Hers card class. Day 2 was all about birthday cards and I challenged myself to use the same sets of stamps from Papertrey Ink on both cards.

For the masculine card I used a white, blue and brown colour palette and circle stamps from the Sketched Shapes set. I also used a birthday circle stamp from Birthday Tags and layered this into a die cut from Limitless Layers Circles, I stamped the tag again and cut out the centre to layer up and add some dimension. I stamped and cut an arrow to point at the focal point and used some glossy accents on the central star. A few scattered stars, finished it off.

For the second card used a sketch from the current Fusion Card Challenge with a colour palette of aqua mist, spring moss, autumn rose and scarlet jewel

I again used the stamps from Sketched Shapes and Birthday Tags, and a Limitless Layers circle die, but I also used one of the Photo Finishers dies in scarlet jewel to give some bold contrast. I added a little glittered star to the birthday candles and finished off with a couple of hearts.

The class will  be over tomorrow and I am still only on Day 2 but I will continue after the close because it is such a useful exercise.

I am also going to enter this into the Passion for Papertrey Lets Celebrate challenge
and Celebrate the Occasion anything goes.

Thanks for stopping by.
Hugs
