A Birthday Announcement!

Hello there, it's Jenny back again today. Apologies if you were expecting to see another edition of

 Found on Friday, fear not, it will return at the end of the month instead with a double edition 

as Tara is rather busy with the shop at the moment.

I have revisited the Oyez stamp set from Waffleflower today with a fun birthday card 

using the Town Cryer which I enjoyed colouring...

After colouring him I cut around him with scissors but a coordinating die set is available here.

For a background scene I used the buildings from Mama Elephants City Sidewalks which 

are stamped onto the card base. I masked them and sponged on 

a light blue sky and grey pavement.

I decided to leave the buildings uncoloured so our Town Cryer could take centre

 stage... I love the clean and simple design this gives too. The sentiment from the 

set just nestles snugly into the space.... I think this makes a great card for 

guys and its not often you can say that!

  

Thanks for stopping by :)

A Birthday Caution

Ello, Ello, Ello...... what do we have 'ere then? It looks like a card for a Big Birthday!

I couldn't resist when I saw the policeman in the Oyez! set from Waffleflower.

I've coloured him in and trimmed him out with scissors, although matching dies 

are available, so he could stand and watch over the Big Birthday....

Do you like the warning tape? It's made by cutting strips of yellow paper and stamped using 

the Lots of Letters alphabet from Mama Elephant and the stripes are stamped using the pattern 

from Waffleflower's Go Girl set. I wove one of the tapes through the letters so it 

was easier to read the word. 

I searched for a traffic cone stamp or something I could adapt in my stash but drew a 

blank so had to hand cut one, it's just two simple shapes so wasn't to difficult.

The space above the lettering looked a little bare so I used the cut-out cloud lines from Mama Elephants Cloudy Day Cover Die to add some subtle detail... I think it worked quite well.

I think this card would bring a smile to the face of any recipient, whatever the 

Big Birthday age be !!
