It was a pretty decent card-making day yesterday.  I like the red & black Birthday card the best. Don't think I like how the Christmas card came out.  I'm still not at a place where I can just churn out cards.  It took me all day to make these.

More birthday cards!  The first one I had colored with colored pencils.  I only recently got some alcohol ink pens, but I haven't really learned how to color with them.  Everything comes out badly when I try to use them.
