DIY cards

Here we are as promised.  This week I've made 2 cards using yesterdays  sheet as the thankyou card was made so quickly! lol  Here's how I did them.

Birthday card
I used an oval template that I made from another piece of card and sponged this using whispers ink for the green tones and an inspiration ink for the sky.  I then added a fine bronze colour peeloff around the oval.  The sentiment topper was made using SU  designer label punch with a peice of pearlescent green card and the small sentiment. I then attached this to the strip with SU dimensionals.
Thankyou card
I used the fiskers running water border punch on the striped paper and add the the sentiment to a peice of green card and attached with 2 SU dimensionals.
