Cody's Birthday

This past weekend we celebrated one of our grandson's birthday and I had to make him his own special card. So this is the card I made for Cody. It was also for a StampTV challenge. The challenge was to color using colored pencils. I am so into the Copics that it had been a while since I used that medium. It was fun. Cody is all boy so the card had to look boyish. At 6 he didn's spend much time admiring the card though! :-)

Recipe:
 Stamps: Candles on your cake, Oh Boy
Paper: Nook and Pantry from Basic Grey, GinaK Pure Luxury Ivory and Chocolate
Other: Prismacolor pencils - Cuttlebug folder - Crystal effects for the window - stickers for his name

I hope all you moms had a great Mother's Day. I heard from all of my children and had visits from some. Had some wonderful time on the lake with some of the grandchildren, what could be better than that? I made this card for a couple of challenges. The first being for the color challenge on StampTV and the other is for CardPatterns #63 sketch challenge. I used the GinaK Turquoise Sea and Innocent Pink card stocks. To be honest, I was not real crazy about the color combination but it turned out better than I thought it would. I used the paisley cuttlebug folder to emboss the layer and then inked it. The ribbon was int he bottom of a drawer and I have no idea where or when I got it. I wish I had more of it. I had the button in my pink button container and I paper pieced the boat from Tami Mayberry's Boy Oh Boy stamp set sold by GinaK. Thanks for the visit!
