I don't really know the little boy the party was for, so didn't really have much to go on to personalize the card. Heck even my daughter didn't really know what he would like and she spends every afternoon with the kid. So I decided to go pretty neutral
Last week on the Mojo Monday sketch they had a sort of swooping design so I decided to go with that as my inspiration. I also hit Michael's this week to find some new paper (ha not that I needed any I must already have over 1000 pieces of the stuff), and I found one that looked like it belonged on a birthday card. Lots of colourful dots. I figured what better than buttons to go with the dots. So I did my best to match the colour of the dots with the buttons that I had on hand and this was the outcome.
I think its cute, turned out pretty good. My stamping was pretty crap, because for some reason the ink that I used wouldn't adhere to my new Verve stamp, and the paper got a little crumpled on the edge thanks to the rambunctiousness of my 2 year old.
In other news, it appears that the top of my grand piano seems to be the perfect place to take a picture of a card, especially when the sun is out.
Stamps & Ink: Verve Stamps Happy Birthday, SU Brilliant Blue

I didn't even read this post to figure out that you had photographed the other card on top of the piano. The lighting really is great there! This card is awesome. I love the curve of the buttons and the colours are great for a boy.
