Cards based on Hand Stamped Sentiments

I really liked the current sketch by Hand Stamped Sentiments. I am always inspired to pull out my very large stash of pattern papers.

It's Your Day!

Today's birthday card features Newton taking flight with his birthday balloons. I used the Newton's Nook Designs' Newton's Birthday Balloons stamp set. I colored him with Prismacolor pencils. The sentiment (NND-Birthday Roundabout stamp set) is on a stitched banner (NND-Banner Trio die set).The plaid paper is from Lawn Fawn's Perfectly Plaid paper pad. I love the pastel colors of the papers. I was inspired by the following challenges for this card:

Flamingo Christmas

I just love flamingo images, so this inspiration photo from Hand Stamped Sentiments inspired me to pull out my Newton's Nook Designs flamingo set--Festive Flamingos. I used a newly acquired flamingo embossing folder to create the background. The layers were created using the NND's Flags & Frames die set. The tag is a die from Paper Smooches --Tag Stitched dies. I added a twine bow, shimmery snowflakes, and some glitter for snow. One Christmas card down!
