birthday wishes | deconstructing jen

I’ve spend the last couple of afternoons working on some new cards. To say I’m addicted would be an understatement.

This first one is a blank inside card that I made on Tuesday. I tried out my new Tea Dye Distress Ink and did a little more coloring… I think that may be a theme with me, lol.

This second one is a birthday card I designed using the TTIC July sketch challenge sketch from Dani. Here’s the sketch:

And here’s the card:

and the inside:

I used the same paper set for the two cards but came up with very different results. As you can see I’m a distressing fool these days. I’m hoping the recipient loves her card.

Card Supplies:

Paper: The Paper Studio and Michael’s individual sheet card stock Stamps: Inkadinkado Ink: StazOn Timber Brown and Tim Holtz Distress Ink Tea Dye by Ranger Paper Punch: Martha Stewart Colored Pencils: Primacolor Scholar

That would be grand though highly unlikely since we all know how I flit from one new crafting hobby to another, lol.
