I made this card for my son's birthday. He is feeling old and only in his 40's! He says time is going too fast! I laughed and said, "Just wait, when you get to retirement age, it really flies by!"
I stamped my chicks, sentiment and bubbles using my Misti. (I love that Misti!) I watercolored the images. I added Crystal Lacquer to all the bubbles which really gave it an added dimension, which is hard to see in the photo. I layered it on orange cs, striped DP and added a ribbon and brad, then glued onto my cream card.
This card if for 2 challenges. Misti Monday, July 2020, "Not an A2"...my card is an odd size, 5 1/4 by 6 3/4". It is also for the ABC challenge letters "OW". Watercolor for W and orange for O. (Also, lots of "O"-shaped bubbles.)

such a fun card! I love the stamps, the watercoloring, the colors - everything! Hope it makes your son feel young...I agree with you that 40's is too early to be saying life goes by too fast. May he enjoy every moment along the way!
