Happy Birthday Little Man

Last week-end I did something I don't do very often - no I didn't down a couple of bottles of Red nor did I scoff a full box of Chocolates ( or anything else editable !) No, it was much better than that - I bought a craft magazine because it had a super set of free stamps from Molly's Blooms.You have probably seen the magazine and stamps. Anyway,it gave me the inspiration to try and do something with them.Here is my effort :

To start with I chose some of my favourite papers from Polka Doodles Not for the Girls Cd and then I coloured the stamped image of the boy with Promarkers to coordinate with the papers.I am still learning how to colour in images successfully and I veer mainly from using Watercolour Pencils to Promarkers or even a mixture of both. I can spend hours practising but most of my efforts sit in a box and never get used on a card.Some are okay but inspiration fails when I come to using them but this time I managed to come up with this design.

 

To complete the design I used coordinating glitter card and ribbon,used Glossy Accents on the balloon and layered paper and card stars to add dimension. I'm not totally,100%  happy with it but I do love the colours and the little man is very,very cute.

I would like to enter this card into the following Challenges :

1.Creative Card Crew - For Men
