Hello there!
Hope your Sunday is as sunny as mine. It's chilly again, but sunny.
I have some fun cards to share today. Our oldest, Arrow, turned 33 last week. They have been a Pokemon fan since they were four, which happens to be when Pokemon began and so Pokemon turned 29 on Thursday. So, naturally I had to make Pokemon inspired cards for them.
This is the first card I made - very simple pokeball inspired. One half red and one half white with a homemade pokeball in the middle. The sentiment is from the MFT stamp set, Evolving Friends.
The second one I made, was inspired by an actual Pokemon card(see below). I tweeked it a bit with the sentiment. I at first was going to use a shadow die cut "party" word but it was a little crowded. So I went with this circular birthday die cut. I ink smooshed the background with three different hues of blue on coated cardstock. Sometimes I like the smoother, softer look of smooshing on coated cardstock. Then I layered it on a blue background layer that matched the inner blue behind the Pokeball. The pokeball I constructed myself just with various circle dies and black strip of cardstock. I'm entering this card in the Seize The Birthday Toppings Challenge, No Stamping.
