There were a few birthdays to make for during November. Above is the card for a colleague at work. This stamp set (from Aall & Create) has a cat back and front with three different faces, so is really versatile.
Here's the inside...
...and the back.
Here is the 'Russian Roulette Revels Cake' with chocolate fudge icing, which we took round to her. She always looks forward to this cake.
This is the card for my sister-in-law, using a distress ink technique I had seen demonstrated recently.
This is the cake for Chris, whose birthday was also in November. The cake is the same as above but with chocolate butter cream icing rather than the chocolate fudge. (It was delicious!)
Chris asked for a Snarky Cat card, so that's what he got!
Here's the other grumpy cat on the back.
Finally, here is the birthday card for my Mum, whose favourite colours are turquoise and orange. I really enjoy making these backgrounds with watercolour, stencilling and stamping.
Particularly like the cat cards, Briony

Thanks, Briony. They are great for cat lovers (like yourself!)

I really, really like the cards and would treasure any of them. The cake looks good too - though I suspect it falls into the 'a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips' category.
ReplyDeleteThanks, EC. The cake is really good and it does last well. Sometimes, only cake will do!

Your cards are so lovely, the cake looks delicious too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, sustainablemum. The cake is a good one, which stays moist and keeps well (if you can manage not to keep eating a slice too often!) The cat cards usually go down well too.

The cat cards are lovely, great fun. Your cake looks yummy too xcx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chrissie. I really like the cat cards too. They turned out well. The cake is a really good recipe that works well for me (my go-to for a chocolate cake) and I can confirm that it is delicious!
