Another Birthday

Today is my birthday …. 46 years young although some days I don’t feel so young …. lol!

Even though it is my day I have several April birthdays in my family so today I am going to show you a card I made for my grandson. His name is A.J. and his birthday is the 13th.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

For my image I used Edwin with package. My papers are DCWV. I used Spellbinders Fleur De Lis rectangles and then sanded the edges using my sanding block. The image is stamped on Cryogen and inked using Memento Tuxedo Black. I cut the image out using Spellbinders Small Labels.  I added four flower shaped buttons to each corner.

Here is a close up of Edwin.

I used the following copics:

  • Skin – E13, E11, E00, E000, R12
  • Clothes – E53, E51, E50, N8, N6, N4, N2
  • Hair – E25, E24, E23
  • Package – E25, E23, E50, R59
  • Dots – N8, N6, N4, E53, E51

I used my scor-pal to score my card. I used a 12 x 6 piece of cardstock and then scored at 3 and 9. I attached my image at the half way point so that it was centered on the opening. I then adhered it using 1/2” scor-tape.

Here is the inside.

Since my grandson does not live close I made a gift card holder. Went shopping last night and this was at the top of my list and of course I forgot it but I still have a few days …. lol!

For my sentiment I used SSD Fancy Accents for the border around the Happy Birthday and the HB is from SSD Label Accents. I then used Spellbinders Fancy Tags.
