Happy Birthday Cards

Birthday cards are on my agenda this week. I'm checking in with three birthday cards today that I want to share.

First card is for my nephew who is turning 2 next week. The card doesn't scream little boy in design but I think the colors are boyish enough and the card is cute (just like he is!). Card design inspired by the CAS(E) this Sketch #61 challenge.



Next card is a bit more sophisticated using the colors of dark pink, black, and grey for the Dynamic Duos challenge.



I cut the chevron plate in hot pink dotted cardstock and placed it over the black for high contrast. Cluster of Ruby Rose flowers anchors the grey sentiment banner.

Last card is a bit more delicate in color. Color inspiration is from ColourQ this week which highlights kraft and several shades of pinks. The card design is inspired by the challenge at Freshly Made Sketches this week. I created a vase out of a frame image and stamped two of my favorite mums in two pinks. This Mums The Word set is one of my all-time favorite sets! And what's a card without some enamel dots to finish it off!




Hope you are warm wherever you are. Temperatures are freezing here in NJ and I'm counting the days until spring! Thanks for stopping by!
