Hello There and Happy Birthday




Hello and happy Tuesday.  I'm popping in quickly to share 2 cards I made this week.  First up is a card inspired by the colors at The Paper Players #503 and the challenge at Simon Says Monday: Summer Memories (last summer, we went to Portugal, and these multi colored houses on a hillside remind me of Porto).

I used a stamp from Mama Elephant Scene Builders and colored with Copics.




My next card was inspired by the sketch challenge at Inky Paws #129 and Just Us Girls #548: Die Cut a Window.  I made a slimline card using the cats from Newton's Nook Book Club and also the snuggling cat and dog together from Porch Swing Friends.





I used Slim Line Window Dressing dies from Mama Elephant to cut the windows and curtains for my sweet critters.

I am finding that the slimline cards are a bit tough to photograph.  Here are some close ups of each of the three windows.





The middle window.





And the final window on the right. 








Thanks for Visiting
