Invitations decided!

After stressing for a couple of weeks about what I was going to do for invitations for my son's 2nd birthday in May I have finally decided on which one to mass produce as of last night! I'd love to hear what you think about them, please do not hesitate to leave constructive criticism as I have only been making cards for less than a year. I was super excited to buy a cuttlebug yesterday since I have wanted one for more months than I can count and am happy with my first result in using it.

Supplies (all PTI unless noted):

Cardstock: Stamper's Select White, Pure Poppy, Enchanted Evening

Stamp: Tiger Fun (digital - Karen's Doodles)

Other: Cuttlebug (Provocraft), Argyle embossing folder (Provocraft), Computer (for sentiment), Prismacolor Pencils, Odorless Mineral Spirits, Swan flocking powder (Martha Stewart)

I participated in Lisa Johnson's first ever Poppy Seed Challenge and am pretty satisfied with how it turned out. We had to use a flower stamp, light yellow, and crystals or rhinestones.

The challenge for #3 is to use black, red, and white as well as any Doodle Dragon image we desired, it's my goal to be able to participate in all of Dustin's challenges because I absolutely love his images and would love to be able to win some of them. My husband asked me to make a card for his grandfather's birthday and I thought that was a great excuse to play along with the challenge. I'd love to hear what you think!

Doodle Dragon Challenge #2

My son's birthday is at the end of May and I am already starting to think of ideas for what to do for his birthday invitations. I decided that I would definitely be using the Party Giraffe by Dustin Pike and thought it'd be fun to play with his 2nd challenge and use the sketch provided as a possible idea for party invitations. Here's my take on the challenge:

Supplies:

Cardstock: blue (DCWV), Teal (from stash), Lemon Tart (PTI), White (from stash)

Patterned Paper: Gaga for Gingham (MTME)

Stamp: Party Giraffe (Dustin Pike) - digital

Other: Prismacolor Pencils, Odorless Mineral Spirits, Scalloped scissors (Fiskars), Cricut Expression, SCAL, Star brads (Craft Essentials), Computer (sentiment)
