Most of you have figured out this is my birthday card for DS. I can see him rolling his eyes and grinning already.
The image was stamped with Memento first ( I left the stamp in place on the MISTI) because I intended to use markers. But there are some TINY spaces, so I colored with Prismacolor pencils instead. I went back and used a gold metallic pen on all the confetti and added dots of Stardust pen just for fun. I re-stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black to bring back the lines I colored over. The image was trimmed and matted with yellow glitter cs and then black cs. I added a craft foam layer underneath before attaching it to the card base. To soften the effect of the red glitter card base and ease DS's sensibilities (he's really not a glitter type of guy, LOL), I added the borders.
I bought this stamp months ago, just for this card. If I never use it again, that's okay - I love how this turned out!
As always, thanks for looking!

I have just been enjoying all the great cards you added to your gallery, Jody. This is fantastic...a perfect son card. That is the cutest stamp ever, and you did a terrific job coloring it. Just tell your son that all the ladies at SCS overruled him...we like glitter. Into my favs.

This one is fun! I'd LOVE to see his face when he gets this and yes, the borders do tone down the glitter. Love the image. I never think to leave the stamp in the MISTI for when I pencil over the lines. Thanks for the tip!

What a great card for your DS!!! You told me how he loves the frog cards every year, and this one with its enclosed "tips" on the MISTI and pencils will be a huge help to so many - thanks for sharing!!
