Two cards ,one layout




Hi out there,Happy Friday.My cards for the Just Christmas and Birthdays challenge 15.
I bought a set of acrylic stamps on Wednesday which all have a male theme and along with this golfer is a fisherman and a handyman holding a spanner.The Top bloke is one of the greetings also included in the set.
I went for really vibrant colours but the picture is really bad.The orange background paper is exactly the same shade as his sweater .For some reason its looks much paler but the green patterned paper is OK.
My Christmas offering is a simple understated card which I quite like.

One sketch = 2 Cards




When my husband left for work this morning I had a whole day to myself .No ironing, no cleaning ,no shopping and no MOJO either. I have 5 cards to make today and it's taken me about 3 hours to make just 2. I've been covered in glitter and glue ,my craft table and the floor are covered in paper I got out and didn't use. I haven't got any chocolate either, it can only get worse.
The birthday card has some very pretty embossed white paper and I've used lots of punch holes around my flower and circle .
I feel I cheated a bit with the Christmas card .I'm not really a fan of peel offs but for the colour scheme I picked they seemed like the best option.

Christmas and Birthdays


I almost forgot about this challenge as I had to make two cards with one sketch layout. I haven't added any extras on these cards and just used pretty papers. It was fun to make two the same but different. Hope they have a good sketch next week.
