Blue, Orange and Green

This card is for Colour Throwdown #134 and I was able to try out my new scallop border punch!

I've used the "happy birthday" stamps from wow flowers and birthday whimsy. And a nice big bit of ribbon finishes it off :)

Colour Throwdown # 134

Treat holder is back!

I found another challenge to work with in Hand Stamped Sentiments #55 (As you can see i'm getting rather addicted to challenges!)
I was looking at the sketch but wasn't too keen on the pocket shape; I then remembered the good old treat holders in this post and voila an idea formed!

I still had scraps left over from my last card (and one of the many scallop motifs!) So all that was left to do was pop something inside the holder- I chose a little label and heat embossed a birthday cake in gold.  


The second pic (below) shows what the label looks like in full.

Birthday Whimsy

Just realised I hadn't posted this card I made back in October. It was my first foray into using brush pens with stamps-so much cleaner and you can combine colours on one stamp-great!
