I made this card for a sweet 6 year old in our family whose birthday is tomorrow. He loves all things art, so we got him a bunch of grown up art supplies chosen with the help of my art teacher friend who I love. She is the coolest Art Girl in the world! I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #734, and also by a post on Instagram about Paper Smooches former owner Kim (Hughes) Mraz collaborating with Honey Bee Stamps. Who knew? It's so wonderful to see her back in the card making world. So I went through my Paper Smooches stash and came up with this card for this special little ginger who is dear to my heart. The sentiment is a little heady for a 6 year old, but his parents save these handmade things and hopefully he will revisit it some day with a smile.

Your little artist might surprise you with his understanding of that phrase, Stephanie! But, even if he doesn't, he's sure to appreciate those artsy splats on your fabulous card!
Thanks so much for starting your piece of art with our Sketch this week!

Steph, I have this set and it is one of my favs! That little artist is going to love it and it is so kind of you to make it so personal. Your card turned out so good! I had no idea that Kim is collaborating with Honey Bee, thanks for the info. Thanks for playing at Seize the Birthday!
What a fun card for your little artist. Love it. Thanks for sharing with us at Seize the Birthday.
A card any budding artist would love! I love how colorful this is and your design is so creative. Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches!
He might not get the sentiment, but I think he'll dig the paint splatters! This is super cute, Stephanie!
