Hello friends,
I had some requests for masculine birthday cards. Geez, they can be a challenge to make. After playing around with several ideas, I think this was the best fit. I love the clean and simple look of this card. It took everything I had to resist putting glitter all over these balloons.

Hello,
I really enjoyed making this card. Can you tell? I made about ten of them in about six colors. This is such a cute stamp set from Stampin Up. When you untie the twine, the card pulls open to reveal a whole tree full of friends wishing the recipient a Happy Birthday.
Copics have a nasty way of bleeding through cardstock. I decided that watercolors to paint this card. It was faster and I think it gives this card a more organic look.
Hi!
I had a couple requests for some golfing cards. We are long overdue for some masculine cards. I thought it would be fun give it a go. Golfing always makes me think of wild patterns and colors. I searched through my pattern paper and found this argyle (well sort of) paper. I pulled some colors out of the paper to color up our golfing friend. This is backwards from my normal process. I usually color an image and then pray I can find a paper to match. This card came together so easily. I need to make myself do this more often. What do you do first? Design the card or color the image?
