A 7th birthday card for my best friend's son. All boys LOVE dinosaurs, don't they?! And I just LOVE this BG Archaic paper - I never tire of it. Just perfect for boy cards.
The image has been coloured with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol and I added Kindyglitz Crystalina to the candles & the party hat. I chalked around the image for the sky and added some pearlescent yellow chalk above the candles for the "glow" - but it's a bit hard to tell from the photo :-( I diecut the brown and green cs with my Labels 1 Nesties, sponged the edges with Antique Linen Distress Ink, then ran them thru my CB using the Swiss Dots ef and sanded them to highlight the dots a little. Both the green cs and image are popped up on 1mm mounts.
The edges of the dp and brown cs base have also been sponged with the Distress Ink. I added a Printblocks antique copper brad to each corner.
The button is from my stash and is over 30 years old. I inherited a rather large box of buttons about 2 years ago which was stock from a family business - a Haberdashery shop I worked in as a young girl. I was going to sell them, but just COULDN"T bring myself to do it. I'm very glad now that I didn't sell them - they come in very handy!
Thanks for having a peek at my card!
