Birthday Weekend

It's that time again ...... what's that you say?

BIRTHDAY WEEKEND

Yes, today is #2 son's birthday, so out came some stamps I rather like,
but haven't used very much.



This muddled up zebra seems a little annoyed,
perhaps he was hoping his birthday would just float away like the balloons!
 Ha, ha ..... no chance!

  


I started with a shimmer black blank card 
(try saying that after a few drinks .... hic!)
 found a nice background paper from a dollar store and cut it down to fit.

I stamped the zebra and the balloons on white cardstock and fussy cut them.
Once I knew where he was going to sit, I stuck a piece of washi tape in place
and stamped the sentiment. 

I coloured the balloons and zebra with Prismacolor pencils.
One balloon was glued directly onto the background, 
the second balloon and zebra were popped onto dimensionals.
The balloon strings were drawn by hand.

After a yummy lunch out with the family, we returned home to open presents 
(and, of course, the card) 
followed by the 'kids' happily playing video games!

I'll be back again tomorrow for the second of the weekend birthdays!

Happy Crafting!
