A couple of birthday cards

Two lovely crafty friends have September birthdays, and I forgot to blog the cards at the time, so here they are now!

This first card is for my friend Loti, so I had to use the stamp set she designed!   I coloured the flowers with Copic markers, then added some dots of glue with a Quickie glue pen around the wreath.  Once that had dried I rubbed some gold foil over it.  It turned out really well.  The sentiment is from the free set that came with a recent issue of Making Cards magazine.

Next up is my friend Katie.   I should probably have used Sizzix dies rather than Spellbinders on this one since she works for Sizzix!   However, I had only just got this fabulous Quilt it Border die and I was itching to use it!   It's definitely my current favourite for backgrounds.
