The requested cards

Didn't I promise you guys that I'll make cards with buttons? Well, here they are!

These are the cards that I made yesterday night. The first card is for my eldest sister who'll be having a 23rd birthday on 26th March. Doesn't a birthday card supposed to be a surprise? Well, this card is an exception. Since my sister and I share the same bedroom, she was there when I made this card. She watched me when I was making it, asked questions, offered her opinions,and complained whenever what I made doesn't suite her style. She even suggested the sentiment that I wrote on the front of this card! LOL :D Honestly, this card is rather too girly for her, she said that it was too pinkish, and I think that she thinks that this card looks too usual. Oh, well, I guess that I can make a better one next year....

The next card I made is for my sister's friend who's going to graduate this March (I think). The recipient of this card is a designer, and my sister said that she likes modern looking things and she loves pale blue. Well, the reason why I made an orange card is because I'm loving orange at the moment and I've no more blue buttons too. I don't know whether this card looks simple or modern enough...oh well...I've tried my best.....

To add interest to this card, and to make it more personal, I drew an image of the recipient who has long hair and big eyes and long eyelashes...lol...a bit childish, don't you think?

Enjoy!

PS: Do you guys notice the layers of  'scales' on both of the cards? Well, it was made out of a bunch of           circles, using the same technique that I did when I made the Christmas tree card ( check out the 'tree of punched circles' archive, December 2010)
