Happy Birthday – Boy Birthday Card

November 7, 2014

     Happy Friday everyone.  Thank you for joining me for another inspiration.  We had a 5th birthday to attend and I chose to make a card rather than by one.  I know making cards doesn’t always take ten minutes, but when cards have reached $4.99 to $8.99 I certainly try to fit making one in.

     This was the first time I tried to make my own background out of stamps.  I chose the tire tracks, and the yellow washi reminded me of yellow road lines.  The tracks also match the distressed shutter lines in the inspiration photo at the Pink Elephant challenge.

    A dump truck, some dirt and the birthday number and I was ready to go.  This card actually took only about 20 minutes to make, and I was really pleased with how it came it.  It was a big hit at the party too.

Until next time…Keep Scrappin’

Challenges:
Crafts Galore – Anything Goes
The Pink Elephant Challenge – Photo – the distressed shutter lines inspired my distressed tracks, and the single focus element inspired my single large dump truck focus

    Fun card, the background looks amazing! Definitely cheaper to create your own cards if you have all of the supplies plus nothing is better than "hand made with love" cards! BL
