Happy Birthday Nick

This is a preview of my grandson's 7th Birthday card I designed for him.  I colored the balloons with copics and put 3D crystal lacquer on them to make them really look rubbery.. works! 



The sky I colored blue using water colors and put plenty of balloons under his Happy Birthday..  the shinniness of the balloon really stand out and I am glad.. I tried to match Nick's hair and put a star on his shirt to let him know he is the star of the day and is angel wings to let him know he is my special angel.  The cat, his daddy got him when he got home from overseas and of course he has to have a birthday present beside him... lots of tall grass as it is too hot to mow right now...  

This is the inside of the card.. tried to make it colorful... the right hand side made it a pocket so I could put a check in for Nick.. wrote a little something for him and then put it in the mail and sent it on its way...


Thank you for taking the time to write me a comment and bring a bright smile to my face.   Hugs, Jean

I also want to thank you all who were concerned about me during my absence.. I am trying to get better, but sometimes things get crazy and get you down, but you know we get back up and go get them again... have so much to do that I can't stay down for long, so thank you so much and God Bless....

I am entering this into Magnolicious paper only challenge
