I decided to incorporate two challenges in this one blog as the cards are very similar. My first card is for the new CAS-ual Fridays blog challenge where the theme this week is Graduation, hard to believe we are in the ‘middle’ of our school year here! Maybe I got just a little carried away with the bright colours this time. I do love bright though… they seem so cheery!
This is my card for the LilyPad Cards Inspiration Challenge. I was inspired by Sherri’s Happy Wishes card, and I didn’t have any lanterns… so it was banners!
So I’ve been sitting here making my cards and for about the last hour I’ve been watching these two Kookaburras sitting on my back fence. So here’s a pic just in case your interested! (my apologies for the blur factor – I took the photo through my window, and then I probably also moved it when I snapped, it’s my favourite trick!)
Supplies; Paper: A4 White Cardstock. Ink: Memento – Tuxedo Black. Stamps: Jane’s Doodles – Jane’s Bakery, PTI – It’s Official. Copics: (where do I start..) Y11,13. V12,15. T0. RV10,13. R05. BG10,15. B000,21,24. YG03,23. phew! Accessories: Fiskars Stamp Press, Foam Dimensionals.

Love the bright colours and fun design on both of these cards Therese 🙂
Love those fun banners and bright colours – perfect for so many occasions. 🙂
Always wondered what a Kookaburra looked like. We used to sing this song at summer camp:
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Merry merry king of the bush is he
Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra
How gay your life must be
Or something like that… It was a loooong time ago! LOL!
Another beauty from you Therese! White on white is always challenging for me! I really feel inspired by your card! Thanks for playing with us at lily pad cards!
A fab fun design Therese, love how you added the sentiment box on the first card. Thanks for sharing the pics of the kookabura’s 🙂
