16th Birthday - take 1

My son, Jake, asked me to make 2 birthday cards for his friends who are each celebrating their 16th's this week (one is today, the other tomorrow). All 3 are mad about gaming.
Here's the first one I made, the other will be in my next post.


The image is 'Video Boy' by Mo Manning. And, as is usual for me, I have used my promarkers to colour him. I fussy cut around the image as Jake didn't want the snacks included.
I've teamed up the image with some old papers by My Mind's Eye (Stella & Rose, Hattie) which I duffed up a bit on the edges.
'happy birthday' is from Paper Smooches (Sentiment Sampler stamp set), and the game controller and 'game on' text is from the 'Text Me' stamp set by Clearly Besotted Stamps.
 I added '16' using my Die-namics By The Numbers die set.

I'm entering this card at:
Crafts Galore Encore - make a card
That Craft Place - sentimental
A Random Fan - anything goes
Sister Act Card Challenge - anything goes
I love Promarkers - include a number

Thanks for looking, take 2 is coming soon ;)

    I LOVE this card! With the distressing and that image, it is the PERFECT boy card! Love it! Regarding the paper I used in my FTH post ... sorry, I have no idea. It's "stash" paper and the scrap that I used didn't have a name. Thanks for your nice comment
