This weekend my niece's two children both celebrated their birthdays--one day apart. On Friday, Finn turned five, and on Saturday, Rowen turned three. I love making birthday cards for kids. Finn's card was inspired by Sandie's photo prompt, "Digits" for the 30 Day Photo Challenge. It's an almost perfect entry for AAA Cards Birthday Challenge. Finn turned five and the AAA Card Challenge just turned six.
I've used this number border by Papertrey Ink many times, but I think this is my favorite card so far. The green and orange seem to work wonderfully together.
All the numbers except the five are "empty." I stacked three orange 5's before inlaying them in the border so it stands out both in color and dimension.
The sentiment is from My Favorite Things, "Bitty Birthday Wishes" and the arrow on the banner points to the inside where it says, "For the Birthday Boy."
Rowan's card is another entry to the AAA Birthday Challenge: Wings. The previous entries were cards with butterflies as the focal image. This is a more imaginative entry--a unicorn with wings.
The stamped and die cut images are from My Favorite Things "Fairy Tale" set and the sentiment is from the same set I used for Finn's card.
The glittery stars were stenciled with Nuvo Silver Gem Glimmer Paste and the Altenew "Milky Way" stencil. Lots of sparkly dimension.
Too coordinate with the sparkly stars, I embossed the greeting in silver on black cardstock.
