YOU'RE 4 TODAY - Happy Birthday Stephen

Today is Stephens birthday, and unbelievably he is 4 - where have those years gone.
Stephen has grown up and changed alot over the last 6 months, and we are entering a new phase in his young life and he is definatly developing his own unique personalilty.

I am really pleased with my card (actually its more like a scrapbook page as it is 12 x12 inches.)
Again using my new Buccaneer cartridgefor the Imagine, it wasn't too hard for the idea to come together.

What I do like doing at the moment is printing the Imagine images straight onto patterned paper. Like I did here, the shipwrecked ship in the background is printed on to paper loosely resembling the atmosphere under the sea.

 With the help of distress inks and distress stickles, all the images come to life.

To highlight the flag, I outlined with a gold Krylon pen, and added the toothpick (stained with walnut stain distress ink)

 

I'd like to say thank you very much for Stephens cards and presents.

 

Ahoy there !!

This is just a quick post with a birthday card I made quickly for a 10 year old birthday party. It was the perfect opportunity to use the Imagine cartridge, Buccaneer.
The images print beautifully, but they really come to life when you start inking the edges and distressing the paper. Taking inspiration from many pirate films I have watched (and my own little four year old pirate character running about) it is a pleasure to work with this cartridge.
