Hoppy Birthday!

I made this for my elder son's 22nd birthday. I love this stamp but it's the first time that I've used it - thought it would be ideal for Danny's birthday as it's not too cutesy for a male card but still fun and I thought he'd like the 'Hoppy Birthday' sentiment that I made. The papers are all from the Jovial Man collection on the Colour Me Happy CD by Funky Hand, and the image is a Penny Black stamp called Toadily Yours.

Inside


I'm not really happy with the colours on these photos but I had to take them indoors due to the weather, in real life the colours are much brighter. The base card is white A5 size and I printed the blue DP on the front then printed a sheet of paper the same colour to make the insert. The toads have been coloured to match with Promarkers then their heads and torsos (do toads have torsos?) raised up on foam pads for added dimension. The stars and letters have also been attatched with foam pads.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:-

Penny Black Saturday Challenge ... Week 155 - ONE FOR THE GUYS
Penny Black at Allsorts June Challenge - Your My Favourite


Thanks for looking and any comments left.

    What a great fun card Lynn. I love the hopping frogs and you have coloured them beautifully. I love the blues and greens in your colour combination and the stars finish it off well. Lovely layout too.
