Birthday Christmas Cards

I was asked to make Birthday Christmas cards for a colleague at work who has two relatives born on Christmas day and she can never find them cards. I have to admit besides have a pathological obssession with Magnolia stamps right now which you can purchase here, I just love easel cards. I just say it is a phase I am gong through right now and I am sure I will transtion into another phase but for now I am having fun making them. Here is what I came up with.....

Enjoy and thanks for looking!


















Here is the other one.....

    I so love both of these cards. They are so bright and beautiful. The use of purple pulled my eye and I love how you made them seasonal, but still a birthday card. These will be treasures that are sure to bring smiles to the receivers. Thanks for sharing.

    Wow! Beautiful cards! I don't suppose you remember the colors you used for the first girl's hair? That is almost exactly the color of my sister's hair and her birthday is coming up!!! :)

    Hey Rene!

    I usually refer a lot to the copic hair color chart that Suzanne DeAn has on her blog. I used e39, e99, yr23 and I did not have e18 so I used one of my lighter red copics to add a touch of red here and there.

    Thanks for all your generous comments everybody!
