Happy 8th Birthday


The Paper Players #671 - Birthday

I made this card for an 8 year old boy using every shade of blue distress Oxide Ink I own.  The "8" balloon is die cut from blue mirror cardstock. I really love the way it came out.

Stephanie this is so clever! The background blended balloons are gorgeous and the numbered foil one totally reminds me of those special celebratory balloons that you can get - fabulous! Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!

Fabulous "8" birthday card. Those balloons look amazing. The different shades of blue inks are blended so well and the number 8 really pops in the metallic paper. I love everything about this card! Thanks for sharing at the Double D, "Birthday/Anniversary" Challenge.

Stephanie, that black and white twine and two black buttons was genius way to add extra texture and personalize the card! the zig-zag border is the perfect way to frame the images, but also adds an extra touch of whimsy. So glad you shared this fabulous card with us at The Paper Players this week.
happy New Year! belated :-)
hugs

So very clever and I love that extra balloon for the 8th. You have inspired me as birthday cards for children are hard, but this one is amazing. I am so glad that you shared this card with us at Double D Challenge.

Such a fun layout, Steph! I think Oxide inks are the best but is sounds like you have quite a bit more than I. LOL. Love your card! Thanks for playing at Seize the Birthday and take care.
