Rory's birthday card...


 

Before I start after all the fuss I made about this card its really just an ordinary card, I think he likes it because Sue, {auntySue} rang and left me a message while I was in the shower to say so. I planned to colour a SassyCheryl image of the little dog in an airplane, it was all done he was flying in a lovely sky backdrop, but fool here decides to cover him in Glossy accents and it went so wrong....So...I printed out another one and started over only this time when I was fussing cutting it out the propeller fell off an one of the wings went funny, I just chucked it and sat there wondering what on earth.....it was so well planned....anyways, I found this stamp that I bought on an eBay auction about three years ago, so here it is, not as wonderful as planned but here it is..


Coloured with PM pens and inked the background, the stampset includes so many little add ons, very cute. The number is a die I cut a couple of times.


Inside just lots of die cut balloons, kids love them don't they


Yep, I stamped the envelope too...

Sorry for the long post, hopefully you got this far and understand the trials and tribulations of card making...hahaha..

Here is a photo of the stamp set.


OK, off I go, thanks for your visit, see you soon on your blogs, of course :}}

Oh the pain of it all Janette, I know exactly how it all comes together with glossy accents as an after thought and then the damn propellers fall of, but you ended up with and adorable card with beautiful fluffy clouds and I love the inside decoration and stamped envelope, these was nothing stopping you once it got sorted, gorgeous card..
