16th Birthday - take 2

This is the 2nd card I made for my son to give to his friend. You can see the other one in my previous post if you're interested to see it.
He has 2 friends who have birthdays on consecutive days. They all became friends in Nursery, and are now doing their GCSE's!

The image is by Jelly Park, I fussy cut it out after colouring as I wanted to use just the main part of the image. I coloured it with promarkers.
Both patterned papers are by Papermania (capsule collection/spots & stripes/jewels)
The metallic navy & kraft papers are scraps that I found, which happened to go nicely with the Papermania papers.
I stamped the game controller from the 'Text Me' stamp set by Clearly Besotted Stamps, I didn't stamp it perfectly (my fault, not the stamp) but I liked how it looked anyways so fussy cut it out and popped it up on foam pads next to the sentiment (which is by Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler)
I added '16' using my Die-namics By The Numbers die set, and finished the card with a few punched stars to balance it out.

I'm entering this card at:
The Pink Elephant - sketch
Sister Act Card Challenge - anything goes
My Mums Craft Shop - dies or punches
Stamp & Create - circles or dots
I love Promarkers - include a number

Thanks for stopping by today :)

For Jake

This is one of 3 cards I have to show you today. This first one is the card i've made for my son for his birthday, it isn't until November, but I thought i'd get it made early.
This image is so much like him at the moment, infact he is playing his xbox and has his headset on at this very moment...

The image is 'teenage boy gaming' from Jelly Park.
The patterned papers used are by My Minds Eye (Stella & Rose - Hattie). I added a 'tiny bubbles' embossed piece of plain navy cardstock behind the image.
The sentiment is from The Alley Way Stamps, but I wrote '15th' myself.
I used dienamics 'by the letter' dies for the word son, and added card candi to finish.

I'm entering this card at:
Inky Impressions - masculine
Seize the Birthday - anything goes
Paper Crafting Journey - anything goes
Freshly Made Sketches - sketch by Cindy

Back in a mo with number 2 ;)


UPDATE: woohoooo!
