Birdies and birthday cake

I've hardly any 'blokey' cards in my stash, so here's a couple of quickies to try to rectify that.
I always love to use this oldie Whipper Snapper stamp, those little birdies give me a good giggle.  I've fussy cut them for this one and popped up on foam pads, and then added some gloss and glitter for a bit of sparkle.

This one didn't end up as butch as I'd hoped, reckon I should have went with a darker base.
My cake is a Gummiapan stamp - coloured with polychromos, sparkle added to the icing and clear gloss/glitter to the little stars.  I hadn't intended to have my border like that, but my white pen is a bit dodgy and decided to leave a big blob, so I just made a feature of it!

That bird stamp always gives me a good giggle, too. I also really like the "Happy Birthday" die-cut on the second card. The font is such a fun, wonky font.

Both of your birthday cards are so wonderful Lynne! I love the colors you've used on both cards, making them festive buy masculine. Having a card on hand for a male is always helpful to me as well! Thank you so much for playing along with us at The Male Room challenge and AAA Birthday :) I hope to see your creations in our future galleries 💗
