Birthday Cards

 Hello!

Summer is paying us a final visit before Autumn settles in and it is very welcome...

I have two birthday cards to share, the first one went to a friend in Scotland and the second one is going across the pond to a blog friend.

I used a new stencil here by Lavinia but the flowers I drew and painted

Though you can't see it on my photos, the flowers are very sparkly - I went over them with a glitter gel pen

Whilst I still had those paint colours wet  I did the second card with 'blobs' and doodled over them

I absolutely love how these flowers turned out

I added a little gold paint and some sequins after.

Both cards have embossed sentiments but again not easy to see.

My previous doodled flowers here won me a $25 voucher at Simonsays Stamp... Thank you Diane for the heads up and thank you to SSS!  Of course the postage for goods to the UK is $15.99 but nevertheless it was an honour to be spotlighted.

Okay, so as soon as the guy who has come to clean the gutters today is finished, I'm going to join my Gingerboy in the garden and relax.

Thanks so much for your visit... If only it was IRL

Take care
