Joyfully

I am so so behind on all my new year cards and gifts (some of it due to *cough* global supply chian issues *cough* so I thought I would use this as a chance for both insporation and to get the cards off my to-do list.  Following the lovely skecth from Freshly Made Sketches #516 , I used a black background to make the blues and gold pop more. This was such a quick card to whip up, thanks to how simple and striking the sketch was. I used a few circle punches from two different blues and a white. Added a "good times" sentiment, a die cut (that was leftover from another card) for the number and finished off with a few gold rhinestones. 

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. 

I love no reason cards, they're my favourite to make. This one is very loosely following the Freshly Made Sketches 507.  The star is the show is the girl sticker. I love the colors so much I chose different shades of blue to compliment it. It was one of the easiest to make cards, pretty much done within ten minutes.
