A very special birthday, two of two!

This is Kenny's card from us, Grampy (Grumpy lol) and Granny! Again it is an 8"x8" scalloped card blank, this time a blue card mat, and some more of that English Paper Company paper in a sort of patchwork. Again I used a Bugaboo image called Birthday Monster Sign, coloured with Promarkers and die cut with Spellbinders Nestabilities, with a bit of outside the box. I wrote on the balloons, and die cut a number 2 with  a Sizzix Shadow Box number die. I also used a Pollycraft little boy in monster costume which I coloured with Promarkers. Pollycraft ceased trading last year so you can't purchase this digi. 
The silhouette ribbon I used this time is the Dinosaur one, available from Crafty Ribbons in many colours.
I cut Kenny out with an old Zipemate alphabet die set, and mounted the letters on a panel cut with a Spellbinders Nestabilities.

 This time I used yellow Papermania starts paper....
......and another Pollycraft digi, also coloured with Promarkers. He is s cute monster about to tuck into cake!

I don't think Kenny reads my blog yet, these are in the post!

Incy Wincy - Birthdays (Mon)
Left of Centre - Masculine cards (23rd May)

A very special birthday card, one of two

Yes Kenny is TWO on Saturday! This card is from Mother in Law, Kenny's Great Nanny. I used an 8"x8" scalloped card blank. I created a panel using red card, and different papers which I think are English Paper Company - the cover was missing so I will update this if I find it and I am wrong. The pack included a circus paper that went perfectly with the Bugaboo Clown numbers -Two image. I coloured the image with Promarkers and added some glitter glue to the top of the candle, die cut with Spellbinders Nestabilities and matted it onto red. I used one of my new silhouette ribbons, I thought horses went with the horse on the circus paper. I won a huge bag full of silhoutte ribbons from Crafty Ribbons recently.
Happy Birthday words are from a Spellbinders die set, I didn't expect it to be a debossing die set before I got it home and looked properly. Kenny is cut out with dies from a Quickuzt set.

Inside the card, just blue stars and this is Papermania paper.
I won this huge bag of ribbons, lucky me!
