Browsing through Pinterest the other day, I saw THIS card by Donna Okoniewski, which really cracked me up. I was looking for some inspiration for my twin son Greg's birthday card, and this was it. I took the design right from the card I CASE'd, but changed it up by using a very different color scheme, a stenciled background for the card base, and stamped, heat embossed with sparkly black EP and die cut the spider webs. I also stamped the spiders, and added some stenciled clouds. Greg is a PhD student working with lots of technology, economics and data analytics. He has a wicked sense of humor. The simplicity and humor of this card made him laugh a lot, which was the desired effect! Also, I think it is pretty cool that you can see a face when you look at this card - 2 eyes and a mouth in the spiders, eyebrows in the webs above the two top spiders... Love ya, Greg.

I love the sentiment so much! Super cute card and it sounds perfect for your son, so happy it gave him a good laugh. Happy birthday to Greg!
ReplyDeleteI always love a bit of humour on a card, and it's more difficult to achieve on a handmade one . . . so I applaud you for making this fun one.
