The first card up is for her father, Seth. I decided to use an old Stampin' Up set featuring one of my favorite stamps: a fun loving crab! I figured since his horoscope is Cancer (just like mine!) that this set would be a fun one to use. I wanted to keep the card fun and happy since it was coming from his very young daughter.
Stamps: Stampin' Up
Paper: Gina K Designs, Watercolor Paper
Ink: Distress Stains, Archival Black, Inktense Pencils
Misc.: White Felt, Googlie Eyes, Twine, Corner Rounder
I thought adding the felt and the googlie eyes made it fun and whimsical and something Victoria would love. Who can resist not shaking a card with those eyes?
For the next card, I decided to use a set of stamps and a matching set of dies by Lawn Fawn. They feature paper airplanes. I figured they would be perfect for a grandfather. Do you remember making them back when you were a kid? I sure do!
Stamps: Lawn Fawn, Studio G
Paper: Gina K Designs, Watercolor Paper
Ink: Distress Stains, Distress Ink, Archival Black
Misc.: Lawn Fawn Dies, Hero Arts Gems
I did the background using Distress Stains in various blues and white and plenty of water. I was inspired by a wonderful blogger and artist, Sandee. She is so kind and shares her knowledge with you.
I hope Seth and his father have a Happy Birthday!
Until next time!

I love the 3-dimensional effect of both of these cards with the eyes, clouds and paper airplane elements. I especially like the whimsical scene you created for the first card. Blessings, my friend!
Love both of these cards and your amazing creativity that shines through on both!
