Goodbye, Opa!

After my father died two years ago, his father died two weeks ago. It is a big loss for my grandmother and her family. When I see his picture on the kitchen wall, I can't believe that he is gone.
I wrote my grandmother the following card:

I used the Martha Stewart Monarch Butterfly punch. The branch is from the Stampin'up set "In Gedanken bei dir" and I used the heat embossing technique for it. The background is the woodgrain embossing folder.

Birthday in Green!

I saw a similar card on Pinterest and made my own inspiration of it as I looking for a new way to use my washi tapes. I especially liked the idea of putting the washi tape on the cardstock first and emboss it afterwards.
The Martha Stewart Monarch Butterfly punch is one of my favourite punches I have. I added a coat-hanger embellishment to fix the banner with the sentiment on the card. I like the outcome so much that I already made more cards in other colors.
