Hello there!
Hope your Sunday is as sunny as mine. It's chilly again, but sunny.
I have some fun cards to share today. Our oldest, Arrow, turned 33 last week. They have been a Pokemon fan since they were four, which happens to be when Pokemon began and so Pokemon turned 29 on Thursday. So, naturally I had to make Pokemon inspired cards for them.
This is the first card I made - very simple pokeball inspired. One half red and one half white with a homemade pokeball in the middle. The sentiment is from the MFT stamp set, Evolving Friends.
The second one I made, was inspired by an actual Pokemon card(see below). I tweeked it a bit with the sentiment. I at first was going to use a shadow die cut "party" word but it was a little crowded. So I went with this circular birthday die cut. I ink smooshed the background with three different hues of blue on coated cardstock. Sometimes I like the smoother, softer look of smooshing on coated cardstock. Then I layered it on a blue background layer that matched the inner blue behind the Pokeball. The pokeball I constructed myself just with various circle dies and black strip of cardstock. I'm entering this card in the Seize The Birthday Toppings Challenge, No Stamping.
For Following Challenges:
Card Supplies for 2nd Card:
Paper: Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock;

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you come back soon!
Peace & Hugs,
Nance

Awesome Pokemon cards, Nance! A perfect fit for Arrow! Love the evolving sentiment!
My son and grandson are both big Pokemon fans so I can appreciate both of these. Thank you so much for playing with my Topping! I know it's a huge challenge for many. We appreciate your support at Seize the Birthday --- Jules
Nance, Our sons are about the same age, mine turns 33 in December. Love both of these as they brought me down memory lane this morning. Ty's favorite Pokemon was Charizard. Thanks for playing at Seize the Birthday.
I love that you brought back Arrow's childhood, Nance - adulting isn't all it's cracked up to be some days!
Both cards are amazing!
