Pen Pal Cards

Hello.

The couple of cards in this post are the ones I recently sent to my two pen pals. 

Cardvelope

Hello.

It's not often I have an idea for a card before I sit down to make it, but this one I did, except the stamps, I didn't choose them until I looked through what I have. I ended up using a Sharon Bennett set which was a magazine freebie and the 'Hey Cupcake' set by Elzybells.

Here is a close up of the stamp, to show the detail better. I added glitter to some of the sprinkles and gloss to the cherry. I don't have a black fineliner pen, so I ended up writing 1st in silver instead.

Britain

Hello.

With the Olympics and the Diamond Jubilee coming up this year there are lot of British themed items coming out. One of the magazines I buy recently gave away a free stamp by Sally Moret and a selection of papers based on Britian. I have used both on this card, then added some buttons to finish it off.
