Happy Birthday Mum!

Oh dear - postman hasn't delivered birthday cards in time! Always the danger of having your birthday just before christmas.  Here's some pictures of what you should have received this morning.

Mens cards

A dreaded Man card again!

These cards are for my Brother in Law.  I was looking for a fun image for the kids to send to "Uncle" but couldn't really find very much.  Then found this fun character (BiL is a plasterer!), then had the idea of having him plastering a birthday cake.  Another quick google search found a cake that could be altered to be suitable. 

I have used copics for the colouring and jazzed up with glossy accents. The little sentiment banner was hand drawn and stamped.

 

Second card was this lovely harbour scene from the LaPashe Big One CD.  Instead of decoupaging it as it was designed on the CD (and because I needed to post it!) I altered the main image slightly in photoshop, adding a filter and feathering the edges.  I then masked around the image and sprayed with Iridescent Spray and Sparkle.  The background was stamped with the Visible Image Crackled Background and weathered wood distress ink.Also used Papermania linen look card and card candy coloured with copics to compliment.
