Happy 22nd Birthday to our Son Steven

Today is a special day as it is our youngest son's 22nd birthday.

Happy birthday Steven.

Here is the card that I have made for him.  I recently won a challenge and the prize was some images from The Paper Shelter.  It's so hard when you win images from designers as there are so many to pick from.  I quickly came across this one and it is called "Workout Time".

This year our son qualified as a Personal Trainer.  Unfortunately he's not been able to get a job working in a gym but fingers crossed it won't be too long before he fulfils his dream.

For my card I used the composition but I also printed out the image of the trainer 5 times so I could put one inside the card and decoupage the image well on the front of the card - well I didn't have to worry about the postage as he still lives with us!!

On the front of the card I used my Tim Holtz Stamping Platform  to stamp the "happy birthday" with one stamp and "son" with another.   I finished off the front by die-cutting out some stars and then running them through a small dots embossing folder.

Here is the inside of the card.  As I said I used one of the images on the inside and stamped "have a wonderful day".

I do love using stamps/digital images and colouring to make cards but I still love doing decoupage.  This combined using a digital image and printing out multiple times to decoupage.
