Here's a card for a boy's birthday. I used one of Tim's new digital images, a creature he calls a "Three-Toed Marmoot". He's normally just waving "hi," but I wanted him to hold a balloon, since he IS going to a party afterall. The balloon is borrowed from a Hambo rubber stamp and the sentiment is by Hambo Stamps as well.
Tim colored the Marmoot with prismacolor pencils. The balloon has Crystal Effects to make it shine, and a tiny wire that wraps around the Marmoot's wrist.
