Balloons and stars

We had a beautiful bright sunny day today, spring is on it's way for sure :)  I actually got out to the garden this morning, despite the heavy frost, and got some of the old stuff pulled out and leaves lifted so it's looking a bit tidier and now I can actually see my bulbs with their heads up.

This might or might not be Greg's birthday card, I'm not sure if it turned out a bit too girly?  If I get a chance I might have another go.
I've used an ooold Penny Black stamp - coloured with watercolour pencils and popped up on dimensionals.  Clear gloss added to the balloons and sparkle to the purple dots on his shorts.






This one uses no stamping (other than the sentiment) and I've actually managed not to use ink splatters on it LOL.  I hadn't intended to use so many little silver sequins but I'd a couple of gluey marks that needed hiding ;)  Stripey stars popped up on dimensionals.  Dienamics star dies.

    They're both great cards. Love that you've made them using purple (my favorite color!). I also really like the biggest purple star that is partially cut off on the edge of the card. I think it gives such a nice finished look to your card.

    Two lovely cards, Lynne! Sequins are so useful for covering up little splotches, aren't they?!

    Two fantastic cards! The stars one is so fab and contemporary, a really great take on the sketch challenge. I love the cat card which is absolutely perfect for our balloons challenge and such a fun scene! Not too girly at all - he'll love it. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More :)

    So cute and I don't find it too feminine for a birthday card.

    Love that PB cat, he's so cute with his little dotty shorts, and the dots and stripes work really great together too. Loving the purple and silver stars card too, fab layout.
