Today is the first day of October. Yay! October is my favorite month of the year. Cooler weather, the trees start changing color. Decorating for fall and Halloween. It's just a great time of year.
I do have a couple of cards to share with you all today.
The first one is for my niece Shawna. I think this cute fall digital image is from Bugaboo Stamps, but not sure. Unfortunately, they are no longer in business.
Colored the image with alcohol markers. I think the rectangle frame around the image is from In Love Arts Store. I thought the stitched sun would be perfect for this card, but I can't remember where I got it. The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions.
My second card is for my grandson Walker, He likes simple cards, and I think this is about as simple as I could get.
I came across this image awhile back while I was searching for birthday card ideas on the internet. I thought it was funny and thought that it would be simple enough for me to draw.
I used an edge distresser on the black cardstock and used S.U. Very Vanilla cardstock for the base and top. The sentiment is from a S.U. set called Birthday Whimsy. Uses a black permanent marker for the drawing.
As far as making a simple card, I think I nailed it. Ha! I do hope that it will bring a smile to the birthday boy.
Thanks for stopping by, Hope you all have a wonderful day!
