1st Birthday


A friend of mine at work had a little boy last year and this card is for his 1st birthday later this month. The sketch is from Stamp with fun. Anything baby goes is the theme at Stampin for the weekend. Summer is the challenge at Die Cut Dreams and I thought this card has a real summery feel especially with the backing paper with the suns on it. We could do with a bit of that as today has been horrible for much of the day, very windy and wet. The gardens need the rain but I prefer it confined to the night. The image is a Daisy and Dandelion stamp layered onto a nestability shape embossed with Cuttlebug tiny bubbles. The balloons are a Sizzix die. The papers, number and stars are from stash. Gold zigzag is from Papercellar.
