Number of Years
My little guy just turned 3 years old yesterday, so I have a fun post for you today. I made a couple of birthday cards with NUMBER OF YEARS and show how adding just a few extra details really makes a difference!
I started out with the simple card shown at the top. I like the way it turned out, but it could use a little something more.
I love all the color on the card and the balloons give a fun whimsical feel. This would be a great design for making a card quickly when you don't have time for more detail.
In this second card, you can see a more finished look by adding a couple of extra details. I added a little extra pop of color by adding a Crushed Curry matting under the designer paper and the white circle.
I also added more color by using GORGEOUS GRUNGE to add a splash of Pool Party ink behind the number 3. This is actually my favorite detail, it really made a big difference with just a small addition of color. Lastly, I added color to the balloons. I stamped the speckles on each balloon which took them to the next level.
Here's my little guy getting ready to blow out the candles,he loved celebrating his birthday. In fact, he loved blowing out the candles so much we re-lit them three times!
What do you think about the versions of this card, do like the stepped up one better too??
