Someone special birthday

Here's a relatively quick card I made for DF for his birthday that was on Monday. I'm please with it as it's so hard to make a card for a guy without making it too embellished and frilly. ;p



Such a cute stamp from Stampabilities, his name is Maxwell:


A bit of stitching around the stamped image and the Say Cheese deco paper:

Who Says There's No Easter Kitty?

I had lots of fun making this one. I used Mini Mono's
for the wording on the inside of the card and also for
the round scallop (I added tiny circles). The kitty,
bunny ears, basket and eggs are from Doodlecharms
(LOVE this cart). The scallop bkgd is from AE. And
the final cart used is Opposites Attract for the Happy
Easter letters. Embellished with a few different ribbons,
ric-rac, gems and buttons! TFL!
