2nd Birthday Card


Here's a birthday card I made for my friend's grandson who recently turned 2. I used a Bugaboo image for this, coloring with Copics in bright colors. I die-cut the image panel with a Lil Inker stitched rectangle die, placing it on a Pacific Point card base. The sentiment panel was done with both a SNSS stamp and ticket die but trimmed a bit to fit the panel. I added a die-cut negative star from a SSS star border die. The balloons were done with a Martha Stewart punch and embellished with Quickutz die-cuts to show his age, and the final touch was to add some colorful twine balloon strings.

I'm sharing this with the following challenges:

This is such a cute boy card. I don't know of any boys who don't like trucks, cars or any variation of trucks - fire trucks, dump trucks and back hoes. This is the perfect fit and he will love it. Beautiful, bright coloring and the balloons with his age are great.

OMGosh Carol, this card is just darling! I love that image and you have colored it up so well with your Copics. I'm sure the little guy who got this card loves it too! Hope someone dug you out of all this snow we got! And I hope you can stay in this week as it is going to be so bitter starting tonight. I got my doc visit in this morning and shoveled the patio and walk off when I got home. That snow was heavy! lol Now the sun is melting things off well and hopefully drying it all before those teen temps come into play tonight. Stay safe my friend and warm! Hugs, Brenda
