HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY

 

GUCCI

Today I'm sharing a card I made for my youngest son Ryan for his 21st birthday some time ago.  

He doesn't like fancy or over-the-top cards so this is what I came up with.

A month or so earlier he had purchased himself a GUCCI card holder, it came in a beautiful box, a bag and a ribbon.  So my words were don't throw it away I'll have the packaging.

Looking at the card side on now I should have used black foam or coloured the white green with my copic markers.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG

 Good morning and welcome to my blog.  I hope everyone has had a lovely month and I can't believe it's May already.

This month over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 we have two new sketches for you and a retro sketch from the archives.

Here is my first card for May and you'll see my other card on the 16th of May when last month's winners are announced.

Sketch#277

Doesn't it make a change from our square cards?

Here's a quick peek of the inside of my card.

This design is so simple and so quick.  Also, check your scrap bin out to add to the front of your card rather than cutting up a new sheet of design paper.

Remember to drop by Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and see what the rest of the design team have created for you this month.
