1st Birthday

I struggled with this card trying to come up with the right colors to use.  You would think kid cards are easy to make, but I find them challenging!

I pulled out my Nana's Kids stack of paper and selected the green polka dots and animal sheets to work with. I used a white card base and added the green at the top and bottom, the animals in the middle, separating them with white scalloped edging, created by using a heart border.

I die-cut two circles and attached them to the card with foam tape for dimension.  Next I die-cut a "1" in white and one in blue and overlapped them slightly.  I die-cut a "s and t" and placed it next to the 1.

I wanted to put Parker's name on the front and die-cut it in blue.  I die-cut a couple of banners, stamping happy birthday on them.  I added Denim Twine around the spine and a few more stars on top of the polka dot paper.
