Have you ever pondered how birthdays are so much better when you are a kid? Why is that? Is it because we love the cake and ice cream? No, because I still love the cake and lots of ice cream. Could it be the presents? Nah, because if you say you didn't care if you got anything, you would be lying!!! Presents are always fun and exciting to open. Maybe it's because when your a child you get to have a theme party? I don't know about you, but when I was a kid I begged my mother to make my birthday party a Barbie, Princess, Strawberry Shortcake, or whatever the IN thing was at the time, party. And if you decorated everything and sent out invitations in your special theme, chances were, all your friends would buy you a gift that revolved around your theme!!! Hmmm, maybe I should make a diamond party? Then maybe I would get lots of diamonds? After all, they say Diamonds are a girls bestfriend :o)
Anyways, today's card was made for my little nephew Javier. We will be attending his 6th birthday party this weekend (a Pirate Party LOL) and with taking my summer art college class I figured I better get busy on his card instead of stressing at the last minute. So here is what I came up with...
What's the matter? You were expecting a Pirate card :o) Not this time!
This card is a fun greeting card because I chose colors that are bright, cheery, and could be given to anyone, not just a little boy. In fact, I actually made a bunch to save and pass out throughout the year! Have a wonderful week and as always, Thanks for stopping by!
Stamp Set Used: Happiest Birthday Wishes (This is a hostess set, so if you love it call me and we can set up a workshop so that you can earn this set for free!!!)
Color Scheme: Baja Breeze, Tangerine Tango, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, and Whisper White
Accessories and Tools Used: Scallop Border punch, Just Add Cake Designer Series Paper, and Hemp
This is a really cheerful. Sometimes it doesn't make a lot of sense to get real fancy with a card for a child; they seem more interested in the gift that came with it!! I enjoyed looking through your blog.
