Stampotique Designer's Challenge with Reverse Confetti

Hi folks,

dearly beloved and I were invited to celebrate the 40th birthday of one of his former co-workers - so I decided a fun card was in order to mark the occasion - completely with googly eyes!

Considering that dearly beloved and I are both older than the birthday boy....well, the inside sentiment is acceptably funny.

Toxic Amplified

Hi folks,

well it's been a busy few days around here. Yesterday I attended "Emily's Crop" in Perth. I didn't get much done but I did finish these two cards.

The first one was given to dearly beloved's eldest nephew at his family birthday party today.

The second one I punked up a little with some funky red hair. No one in mind for this card so it will just go into my stash.

card details:

• finished size: 4.25 x 5.5 inches, black card base
• stamped image: The Greeting Farm "Sweet 'n Toxic", coloured with Copic Markers (E000, E00, E01, E93, C00, C0, C1, C2, C3, C4, B72, BG75, BG78, Y21, Y32. Blond hair E30, E31, E35. Red hair R000, R30, R32, R35, R37, R39
• patterned papers: Sassafras Amplified
• layout: inspired by a Bellarific Friday sketch from Nov 11
• sentiments are from other TGF sets

Challenges for these cards:

• Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #139: Boy oh boy
• One stitch at a time #89: Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by, hope you are all having a lovely weekend!
