Good morning everyone... I hope you are doing well!
April and May are huge birthday months for my family... so I wanted to share a couple of Vintage style cards that I made. The first card is for my sweet Mother-in-law. I created the paper flowers out of an old dictionary... they were so fun to make! The one on the right might be a touch too big... I got a bit carried away! :o)
The second card is for my wonderful Dad... his birthday is this Sunday. I added a strip of dictionary paper to his card and the circles were cut out of cork. I wanted to keep his very masculine!
The sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping... and it cuts out perfectly with the #18 Nestie. I love how fast these came together and I'm very happy with the way they turned out... and no coloring was required! I hope they like them! :)
That's it for now... Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy your day!
