Sunny Days card

I love this stamp by Inkadinkado - it's just so cheerful!  I stamped it and then colored in some parts with sparkly pens.  The background was cut with the Artfully Sent CTMH cartridge - which I love because it has SO many backgrounds and shapes you can cut.  I was telling my one friend that I think it's a lot less expensive to buy the cartridges with 700 images for $99 then to buy each die for $20.  And you get the added benefit of getting to cut them at ANY size you want too.  

Classic car card for 100 year old man!

I saw on Facebook that a man is turning 100 years old and his friend was looking for people to send him handmade cards.  So I thought I would participate.

So this is the card that I came up with.  Hope he likes it.  I've done one of these in the past but I changed this up a bit and did the tires a bit better this time.

I cut this from Artfully Sent CTMH Cartridge.  It's layered on bronze glitter paper.  Hope this card makes him feel special.

I'm also participating in the Papers Player blog challenge #248.   This is my first challenge that I'm participating in.  Here is the link to the challenge.

This blog was inspired by Nancy Keller's tutorial on Scrap Happens where she teaches how to make these bird cards from the Art Philosophy cricut Cartridge through Close to My Heart.  So I wanted to give Nancy a shout out and say THANK YOU.  If you want to check out her bird cards, you can click on the link below:

I had so much making these cards and experimenting a bit.  And here is what I came up with....

I made this one first and added the different shade into the wing and kept the saying in RED

Then I made this and cut the white paper a bit more fancy, kept the wing the same color but popped it out some and changed the saying to GREEN.

Let me know which one you like the most and if you have any other ideas to make it better - please share those as well.  I'm always open to other ideas as you know.
