A Couple of Birthday cards

Just a couple of birthday cards I made this morning.

This first one was actually for my mum's birthday, which is today! She loved it as well! This one is for SC371 for the sketch, La-La Land's Easel Card Challenge and CR84FN48 to use chartreuse, lavender and grey. Here's the colour inspiration from CR84FN.


And here's my card for it.


Recipe:


My next card is not for anyone in particular - just a card to add to my huge stash. This is for Friday Mashup's Challenge #45 to use penguins and/or the spotlighting technique. All my penguins are Christmas- type stamps and have now been put away and I couldn't be bothered to get them back out, so I made a punched penguin using the owl punch in the same style as Rita's. This is also for Cupcake Craft Challenge #178 to use red and pink. There is a little bit of black and yellow in there too, but it's mostly pink and red.


Recipe:


And that's all my birthday cards for this post folks! Thanks for stopping by.
