I made my own patterned paper for the cardfront by putting the two small birds from the Swingin' By stamp set on my acrylic block and stamping them repeatedly in blue ink on the pale blue background. Quick and easy! I stitched the panel to a blue card base to dress it up a little.
The "happy bird-day!" sentiment is stamped in blue ink on a pale blue panel. I accented it with a fun white tulle flower at one corner and a section of a fancy sparkly flourish at the opposite one.
Materials Used:
from i {heart} papers: Our Craft Lounge Swingin' By stamp set, Alexx Kesh white tulle flower, Zva Creative self-adhesive crystal flourish
other: Blue Bayou Classic ink, Blue Bayou and Soft Sky cardstock (Stampin' Up!); foam tape; sewing machine

I colored the cute monkey image with Copic markers, then sponged a soft blue sky soft around the image. I made a panel for behind the image from some patterned paper from the My Mind's Eye Lil' Robots Collection Kit. The patterns in this new collection are perfect for those tough to design little boy cards! I added a polka dot embossed panel to the other edge of the kraft card base, then layered on the image panel. The sentiment is stamped in black ink and attached to the card on a pair of layered ovals.
Materials Used:
