Birthday and Thank you Cards

I thought you might like to see a couple of cards I've made recently. 

This is a birthday card I've made for my sister-in-law's husband - I do find men so difficult to make cards for but I'm pleased with this one.  I've used Joanna Sheen's Jane Shasky CD which is absolutely beautiful.  There are so many lovely pages that I shall certainly be making many more cards with this CD.

A close-up of the decoupage.  I used Diamond Stickles on the background and decoupage to imitate the snowflakes.

This is the insert, again taken from the CD - I've amended it rather as I couldn't get one to fit the card base.  I used the backing paper and cut out the little detail from the insert to put on it.

This is a thank you card I made for my sister-in-law.  Again it is using the Jane Shasky CD - I loved the colour combination of the bird.  The stamp is one I bought in Australia and can't remember what it was called, sorry.
