Cosie's Creative Corner

Happy Birthday The challenge this week was to use geometric shapes and I choose the safe old square as this is usually the format I use to make my cards. Nice and simple layout with the flower image cut into squares and then glued to dark grey, slightly larger squares to accent them. I used copic marker C7 to match in with the copics on the flower. Stamped happy birthday from Papertrey Ink  and it was done. Copics: Flower: N1,3,5,Y13,19,38. Leaves: YG23,45,G46. Background: C0,1,3,5. The image is one I never used and don't know who the artist is. If anyone does please let me know so I can acknowledge them.

Birthday Splash This week at the Outlawz Sunday challege the theme was nautical and this adorable whale from Gerda Steiner  had not been inked so thought it was time. Gerda has so many cute images and they make great cas cards. I aslo used the wave from the  Simon Says Stamps set called Sailing. Used distress inks to colour the images and the rope ribbon is from  Darkroom Door . Great male birthday card and quick to whip up.
