So, it's not that I don't make different cards, but April is a busy birthday month, so for this next card challenge I made more birthday cards.
Before I started doing these challenges, I tended to get my ideas, inspirations from card crafting magazines. Now I'm using the blogs. I also tend to make an extra card and I document who I made it for, where I got my inspiration, etc. It's been very fun - and time consuming.
For the Card Pattern Sketch 106 challenge, I made three cards - three birthday cards. At least two will be destined for two of my nieces for their April birthdays.
Here are all three:

| Hmm... I thought this photo had turned out better. |
Here's card 'A':

| This was actually a better concept then execution. |
Here's card 'B':
 |
| I'm very happy with this one. :) yeah! |
Here is card 'C':

| Not bad, a little uneven - but definitely usable. |
Here's what I used to create these cards:
Cream colored card stock, the square background-split triangles are all from K&Co. - Amy Butler patterns. Fiskar's Birthday Party clear stamp for the main 'happy birthday' and Stampendous "Cupcake Numbers" for the 'make a wish' & 'it's a sweet day' sentiments - all done in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
The yellow glitter cardstock is from core'dinations and I used some leftover light green paper. The flowers on cards B & C are Prima Flowers that I have inked with Close to My Heart ink - buttercup and pear. For card A, I made a paper bag flower using the Amy Butler Iris pattern. The inks were CTMH. The large brad on card B is an Amy Butler from K&Co. And I'm disappointed the bling I have on that card is not sparkling. All other items were in my stash of unknown origin.
whew! Are you tired yet! I am.
