For the layout I used this week's fun sketch over at Sketch Saturday.
And since the birthday boy and I had been talking about books and the use of bookmarks (he told me he always folds the corners of the page, which means he can never borrow any of my books!!!), I decided to make him a bookmark, too. For that I used the first image I had been colouring to test the colours.
Materials used:
Image - Bugaboo (got it as a Friday Freebie)
coloured with Spectrum Noirs
Sentiment and number in balloon - computer-generated
PP - from my old stash of DCWV papers
CS - Core'dinations
Buttons - from my big bag of buttons
Ribbon - from my stash of Kars fibers
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Sketch Saturday - Sketch #207
Sentimental Sundays - #102 (B)irthdays (use embellishments starting with B - buttons)
Allsorts - #154 Card for a man or boy
Crafty Catz - #132 Happy birthday
Totally Papercrafts - #116 No pesky girls allowed
Dutch Dare - #164 Birthday fun
CYDA - #45 All creatures great and small
