Flowers for Christmas and a birthday

Here are my two cards for the Twofer Card Challenge #27, where the theme is FLOWERS.
For both cards I used a stamp from Concord & 9th, I made a Christmas card and a birthday card.

 

1) CHRISTMAS CARD

Here I used the flower stamp as poinsettias. The full leaves are from the same stamp set, the open leaves are from a Christmas stamp set from Kort&Godt. I used a white gel pen on the red flowers and I also added some gold glitter glue. Blue DI was brushed on along the edges of the card and was used for splatter. The sentiment is from another Concord & 9th set.

 

This card is also for:  

Krafty Chicks - #507 Christmas
The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge - #71 Anything Christmas Goes

2) BIRTHDAY CARD

This card turned out very different than I had planned. I heat embossed the flowers with white embossong powder, then I added pink DI. I had planned to add a sentiment only. But I couldn't find one fitting to avoid covering the embossed part. So I added a circle. It seemed a bit bland, so I die cut some leaves and flowers. I didn't add the flowers as I found an image sitting on my desk I decided to use. It's from ADFD and was colored with Promarkers and I added glitter glue. So instead of having the flower stamp as a main feauture it become part of the background.
