50th Birthday Cards

A couple of cards I made for a friend's 50th birthday.

For this one I used the oval handbag template from Anna Marie Designs CD Volume 2. The knitted paper is from the Furry Friends CD from Joanna Sheen.

For the handle I used brown wire and wrapped satin ribbon and Patons Lush knitting yarn around it and added a butterfly charm, punched butterflies and computer printed sentiment.

I'd like to enter this into the Crafty Creations challenge Anything But a Square.

The image and papers on this one are also from the Furry Friends CD, the image is matted on blue shiny cuttlebug embossed paper. The wording is computer printed, I went over it with a Sakura pen to give it some sparkle but this doesn't show up too well on the photos.

I'd like to enter both of these into Make It Monday's Linky Party #54.
