Birthday Wishes

I know it's been a bit since I last posted, it's not that I haven't been crafting I just keep forgetting to take pictures!! So to make up for lost time today I have 2 cards to show. Both are birthday cards and both I love for completely separate reasons. The first card I kept simple because the image really held its own. I usually use pale colours for this stamp but love how pretty the darker colours look and the extra depth the image gains from them. The second card feels like it all ties together perfectly, the image has that vintage feel with the girls spotted head scarf and the papers complemented that both in their style and colouring. I couldn't go past some hand rolled roses to finish it:-) Hope you like them as much as I do!!:-)
