a boy-card

Birthday cards for boys are a little ok, a lot, different than cards for girls! I found an example of a fabulous one (alas! No watermark so I can't tell you who!) and I tried to copy it. There were a few changes due to the paper and ribbon I had on hand, and I realized looking for the artist's name that the original card included three colors on the sentiment (the top section was possibly Pacifica). The balloons on the original had been cut with a Cricut, while I stamped mine. The lagoon one was stamped on the reverse, cut out and flipped over and popped up for dimension.

It turned out fine and was fun to make! My favorite part is probably the spray of dots across the page. What a playful accent and it indicated a breeze to my eye. 

Hugs!
Edited to add: I found the original! It was here on Jeanette Lynton's blog! No wonder I loved it so much!!!!
