Silly Birthday Cows... I mean Cards.

 

I've decided to enter the first of these cards in the Paper Smooches SPARKS challence "everything goes". 
The stamps from Paper Smooches are always making me laugh out loud !

And sorry about the light. I live in Sweden and it's not ever much light at this time of the year!

Another Western Card/Ett till Westernkort

With some PTI ink (Fresh Snow), some Kraft paper and some WMS stamps I put this little card together. I doesn't hurt to have some old metal flowers and an old ribbon from some random Halloween set laying around either.

Jag satte ihop detta lilla kort genom att använda lite PTI ink (Fresh Snow), lite Kraftpapper och några WMS stämplar. Det skadar ju inte heller att ha tillgång till lite gamla metallblommor och ett gammalt band från något Halloweenset i närheten.
