A Birthday Celebration!!!

Well....I am on a roll here, huh? lol!! Maybe if I lived in the Antarctic and were snowed in all of the time...I would have more stamp time! hehehe!!!! The kiddo and I have been in our Jammies (different jammies....we have bathed....lol!) since Tuesday, I think! We have to get dressed tomorrow at the latest...we have a birthday party to go to....his birthday is today though...HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOGAN!!!!! We promise to be dressed tomorrow for your party! :)

It was perfect! This week's Blogger's Challenge is a theme - birthday. And I needed to make a birthday card! Logan is turning two and he looooves tractors, so he is having a John Deer party. I did score with a John Deer gift that I think he will love.....but I do not have any stamps that are remotely tractorish let alone John Deer. What is a person to do???? Pull the color scheme and go with it!??!??!? Here is what I did:

Isn't it cute? I did pull out some retired wild wasabi - it paired so great with garden green (or is the John Deer Green???) Here are the deets.... The main image panel is confetti white. I stamped the "happy" with my jumbo outline alphabet, overlapping the letters on purpose. I then colored them with a blender pen and ink refills. I used garden green and summer sun for the letters and where they overlapped, I used wild wasabi - I love the look of this!!! I then used the Birthday stamp from Hugs and Wishes and inked only the word "Birthday" with a basic black stampin write marker and stamped it below. Since he is turning two...I wanted a "2" or two of something on there....So I pulled out my crazy for cupcakes and stamped two balloons - love it! I then stamped then two more times on scraps of confetti white. I colored them in the a blender pen and summer sun and garden green ink. I wanted them to sparkle...a little boy can have a little glitter, right??? So, I took my versamark pen and colored the entire balloon and then embossed with heat and stick powder and then dazzling diamonds....perfect!! I cut them out and then adhered them down with stampin dimensionals. I matted that entire panel onto summer sun and then onto the card base, wild wasabi. I felt like it was still missing something....ribbon! I had to add ribbon....I tied a bow with my black gingham ribbon.

I think it still looks boyish....don't you? What do you think?
