Happy 10th Birthday, Christopher!

 




This is a birthday card for a hockey loving boy in our family who turned 10 today. He lives in New Jersey, but he is a huge fan of the Detroit Redwings Hockey team and is a hockey player himself. I was so pleased with the last shaker card I made, and thought this would be a perfect card for him with sparkly "ice" inside the balloon, and the red and white colors of the team. I bought some digital Redwings images from an ETSY store, and created my birthday shaker card from around that.
