Joyfully

A very quick later birthday card I made for a lovely friend. Remind me to incorporate more gold and silver bling in my cards for that extra oomph.  I followed the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #513 down to a tee. It was such a nice sketch I was so inspired. The Color Hues #30 of Silver and Gold made for just the perfect color combo for this sparkly card. I added different shades of silver and gold, including a greyish silver banner and writing her name in silver foam, finishing up with some gold and silver rhinestones. As it was a birthday card, a little foam cake sticker was just the perfect image.  I really enjoyed the process of making this card. 

After a while, I made a card. I have so many new year cards to make but I couldn't help and make this hello there card just because I really loved the color theme I followed.   I followed the sketch from My Favourite Things Sketch no #568 very closely and also the 3 colors from CAS Colors & Sketches no #446 . I didn't really have the green so used the army green color instead.  I love how this card came out and how well the silver and pink goes together. I added a few gem stickers to complete it. The girl sticker really stands out and the sentiment "hello there" makes this an any occassion card, which are my favourites. I also made an enveloope from some pattern paper to go with the card.
