Two Cards, Same Five Elements

My godchild Andrei just graduated from Pacific Coast Horseshoeing School, following an intensive 8-week session. It's a good thing I make all my own cards, because good luck finding a "Congrats on Becoming a Farrier!" card at a store. I don't imagine there are a lot of general graduation cards for sale in October, let alone one with a horseshoe on it. 

Here's what I made for Andrei, using the only paper I could find with a horseshoe that didn't have a leprechaun as well. I had to hide a bunch of print that didn't make sense for my card, which is why my sentiment block is so large. 

Yea! You're a Farrier! (affiliate link)

Cards (and other small papercraft projects) are allowed during the BYSS World Series, but you have to make two to count as one project. So I made a birthday card that I'll be sending in a few weeks. 


Together, the two cards count as one grand slam (6 points). Each has 3+ stickers, a cut-apart card, a chipboard element, enamel dots, and an embossed border. It's interesting to me how the two cards share the same five elements, yet look completely different.
