A few new cards!

Yay - it is Thursday - that means I get to play in my craftroom! It has been a crazy busy week - so I've been needing some craft therapy!

My first card is for this week's sketch at Clean & Simple Stamping. I am always in need of birthday cards for kids - so I kept that in mind when I was choosing the colour scheme for this one.

Materials Used (all Close to My Heart):

• Happy Birthday Acrylic Stamp Set
• Good Times Acrylic Stamp Set (promotional item from earlier this year - not available to order)
• White Grosgrain Ribbon
• Summer Carnival Button Collection
• Cardstock: Desert Sand, White Daisy, Dutch Blue
• Ink: Dutch Blue

Here is another card I wanted to share with you today. I totally cased it from one posted by consultant Audrey Latona on our CTMH Consultant Artwork Bulletin Board. I changed the sentiment and used stamped stitching instead of real stitching - but the card is otherwise hers! Isn't it great?
