I have two cards to share, both are birthday cards so I can post them both to this weeks birthday challenge over at Simon Says Stamp, they are celebrating their 4th birthday...be sure to check them out here. You can enter up to 5 cards and can win some fabulous prizes too. My first card is for this week's Muse challenge, Muse #11. We were to CAS this beautiful card by Laurie Willison, her blog is simply amazing and she is an incredibly talented lady. I pulled out some new stamps from MFT and did my best to come close to what she made but then make it some what my own.
My second card for the day is for three challenges, Papertrey Ink's MIM, ColourQ and Simon Says Stamp. The PTI challenge was to make a collage type card, this was my first go at it and I have to say it was a fun card to make, everything just seemed to fall into place. I decided to use the colors from ColourQ and use a birthday sentiment too so it would work for all 3 challenges. Thank you so much for taking time to stop by and take a peek at my card.....have a wonderful day!
