Hi all,
The youngest children in the family next door are twins and their birthday is this coming Friday. They are delightful young women, who will be turning 23. Mom, their older sister and the twins all LOVE pink, so LeAnne's colors for this week's Paper Players Challenge is very timely to make them birthday cards.
Their names are Bella and Cara. They both graduated from college last year, are back living with mom while beginning their careers. They are super fun to visit with and are two of the most polite and nice young women. Bella loves flowers, she does flower arranging for friends weddings and other special events and Cara is into surf photography. Cara recently returned from Mexico where she was a photographer for a line of women's surf wear. I thought about these interests while designing their birthday cards.
For Bella's card I used a Simon Says Stamp cover plate and die set called Fab Floral. The silver looking flowers are actually cut from Smoky Slate card stock then I put a layer of sparkly Glossy Accents over the die cut. After they dried, I added a small dark pink rhinestone to the centers. The deckle circle dies in the center are SU and the Happy Birthday wax seal is from Spellbinders. (FYI, this card is CASED from Jennifer McGuire.)
For Cara's card I pulled out a "summery" stamp, die and stencil set by Gina K Designs called Tropical Sunshine. Instead of using typical beach colors, I used LeAnne's pinks and I really like how it turned out.
Here is the inside of Cara's card.
Colleen both of these cards are fabulous and I love that you used the same colour palette but created two different cards that each reflected the interests of the birthday girls - so clever! Thanks for playing with us over at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these cards are lovely...same colors, different vibe! Just like the twins, I imagine! Thanks for playing with the Players this week and using my colors!
