60th Birthday for you

Hi there everyone hope you had a nice day my day was spent looking around estate agents we want to move to a Bungalow but there just isn’t anything available at the moment so we have to keep looking and hope that something crops up
Can you believe its nearly March already how the time flies! 
My card today is for several challenges l hope you like it and here it is
 


I thought l would show both cards they are exactly the same other than the lighening on each card 
The 1st picture shows the backing papers pretty dull but the 
2nd shows them as they really are but the white card more of a creamy colour too 
What do you think?
Recipe
White Scalloped card & Blue card Stock
Backing papers was a candy win many many months back so not sure of the name 
House Mouse Image & Sentiment
60th Sentiment Computer Generated
Coloured with Pro/Fleximarkers
Pearls, Mementos Ink & 3D Sticky pads for mounting
Entering into the followering challenges
Thank you for your time and popping in  enjoy your week

Sandra, your House Mouse is soooooo cute!. I love both colour ways of your card, but if I had to choose I'd pick the second one with the warmer tones.

Good luck with the house (bungalow)hunting!!!

What a fabulous card, love the image and the papers, can't believe both cards are the same but look so different, camera's, bain of our lives. Great layout too.
My Daughter says we should move to a bungalow, but it would have to be a big one as I need a craftroom and bedrooms for the boys to sleep over in, so no point I say.

Beautiful creation as always, Sandra! I love the sentiment and the design is fabulous. Lighting is such a tricky thing. Both make your card look lovely, but if forced to choose I'd probably go with the warmer one. :o) Good luck with the new home search! :o)

Hugs and blessings!

pinky said...

Its so hard to get a descent pic Sandra, good that you showed both cause what a difference. Love the card and the image is just brilliant.

Teresa said...

It looks beautiful Sandra, it's always hard trying to get the right kind of light, my cards always have to be sat by the window to get the best light. Fabulous card though in both pics. Take care, hugs Teresa xx

A gorgeous card Sandra, lovely colouring of the adorable image!! I love your design and lovely papers. I think the 1st photo looks better with more natural light, where the second one looks like more artificial light. I struggle getting photos to look true to life!!
