Modern Floral Medley

I was looking online for a little card inspiration and I found the following two sketches.  The first is from Tuesday Morning Sketches and the second is from Inkspirational:

 

 

I didn't really follow either sketch exactly.  I turned the card vertically.  The strips on my card are various sizes (on purpose - although I do have those days where nothing seems to cut right) in a black and vanilla palette.  The image is stamped on an oval and then colored with Stampin' Up Blender Pens.  Someday I will own the markers, but I love the blender pens because you can use them to create any color.

 

 

Hope you like my card.  Thanks for visiting.

Birthday Pennants

Birthday greetings are featured today.  When I first saw the colors at Dynamic Duos, I immediately thought flowers.  But then when I saw the sketch at Technostamper, it seemed like a great layout for a masculine birthday card.

I turned the sketch horizontally and then strung the pennants together with Baker’s Twine.  It is really a fairly clean and simple card, but it still looks great.

Here is my card:
