Birthday Boys

Hi Everyone. I've been trying to make birthday cards in advance and these easy ones came together quickly for our Nephews, they don't visit here, so I'm OK to share them. I don't like to make cards the same for everyone, but things as they are at the moment I had to try to do easy, but different, although the same, if you get what I mean?

Anyhow, they were both die cut from white card and layered onto matching card. I cased the image on the package for the design, just different colours. I then went into Photoshop and looked through my files to see if I had balloons similar to the card colours. Luckily I found some, they were added to the insert design, a verse was added then both printed and inserted into the card. 

As I said nice and easy, no thinking as such, and I had 2 cards, but different for the boys birthday.
