A very busy month of June

As well as being busy with classes I have been busy planning our trip across the Simpson Desert and trying to fit in 21st birthdays and family birthdays. It has been such a busy month. We were invited to a 21st birthday party of a very special young man, so I had to make him an extra special card. He is a keen surfer so out came my brayer and I created him a special surfie card.

 

Also I was asked to create a 45th Wedding Anniversary card using one of my little ladies. She also wanted me to add a man into the design. That was a challenge as I am not very good at paper piecing men, BUT I love a challenge and this is what I came up with.

 

I brayerd the backdrop with sea salt and reinkers. The man is made up of 9 paper pieces and my little lady only 7 pieces.

 

 

Groovy baby....

I was asked to make another of my little ladies. This one is for a young lady turning 17. Her aunty asked if it could be something groovy like my other birthday lady. Well not wanting to make exactly the same card again I pulled out all my Designer Series Paper till I found one that got my brain a churning.
I drew my girl up, sponged around her and then dressed her in the groovy (retired) DSP. Then I cut her hair out of the new Coordinations card stock in Early Expresso and then ran it through the woodgrain embossing folder.
The stack of pressies was made using Melon Mambo card embossed and glittered, Pool Party and So Saffron. I cut the 17 free hand.

Don't you just love her groovy shoes, they were a little tricky to cut out but worth all my breath holding.

Her sunnies were made using Acetate coloured with a red felt pen and then rubbed off to just leave a stain. I then punched them out with the Owl punch and set them up with Glue dots.
The background is supposed to resemble a Disco with dripping lights and kooky lanterns. Do you think I achieved that?
