Birthday Cards for my two Nephews

Hello All, I don’t know why this looks so faded …it is a muted card..but..anyway… I needed to make two card for my nephews that share the same Birthday (different family’s) So I started out with Shari’s Sketch #2 (which I love) First I used the large scallop Nestabilities and stamped the leaf in Versa Mark & the clock from Tim Holtz? Then I cut the rounded edges and scored it and distressed it. For the bitty squares I scored them then clipped the corners so I could turn them up. Stamped the Happy Birthday message and cut into strips and distressed. Added some pen and ink touches and done. I can’t wait to make a Birthday card for my Sis-in-law…much more fun! TFL 🙂
