Where's the Cake?!


Here's a funny birthday card I made for a friend recently to give to her brother. He's in his 80s and has a good sense of humor and she thought he'd get a kick out of it :)

I used a digital image I found in my box of printed images, but unfortunately I didn't label it so I don't know who made it. I colored it with Copics and added a turquoise mat before adding some chevron paper in the background. The sentiment was done with my Dymo and matted with black card stock and that's all there was to making this fun, quick, and amusing card.

I'm going to share it with the Seize the Birthday challenge #160 - Make us Laugh

Thanks for the visit - I hope you have a great day and find time to have a good laugh today :)
