Today is a wonderful day...it's my son Nick's 19th birthday! I get really gushy on occasions like this and I will control myself but will keep a hanky close, just in case...lol...
Nick has been in Amsterdam, living with his cousin Jessica since Febuary and it has felt like the longest 3 months ever...good job I started my blog...there just aren't enough hours in the day for blogging...lol...
To be honest, Nick isn't really one for cards, he prefers what comes with the card...if you know what I mean...he sees £££££££££££££££...lol...
So I have kept his card pretty simple using silver, black and white and as he has a love for cars...I thought this is very appropriate...
I have used a decoupage kit from Kanban, one for the boys/men and I thought this Formula 1 car would just do the job...
I have used silver mirri board, backing papers and decoupaged the image from the kit, which has four layers and matted and layered with 3D glue.
The 'Happy Birthday' sentiment also came with the kit but I made the other two sentiments from my computer and embossed with silver embossing powder and a glue stick to give it a 'choppy' look around the edges, no distress ink in sight (shock, horror...lol!)Sorry to get sentimental...there I go again... but I just wanted to share a couple of photos of the birthday boy...
Awwwwww.....
...and now he's all grown up...
Well... I am off to enjoy the birthday celebrations now and I hope you will all have a great weekend too...
