Billiard Birthday

 

CAS701 - Fire Colors

I will never tire of this DRS Designs image. Several of my family members play pool and I helped create this image. 

For today's card I masked out the image on the handle then stamped the image for the card front. I then colored it with copics and added a flame to the handle.

Here is the inside of the card.


I carried the flames theme to the inside of the card to pair with the great billiard sentiment.

Deepest Sympathy

 

CAS700 - Sympathy

Here lately I have needed a few sympathy cards and they can be tough to make when you need them, so I am happy to have a challenge to make one and add to my stash.

This was a very quick card. I stamped the image in green then stamped the sentiment over it in black. I then colored the stem of the image with green copics.

Once the image was colored, I used a rectangle frame to the panel and sponged the blue in the upper left corner.

I die cut the panel and popped it up on dimensionals and finished with a few sequins.
