A bit of a laugh

Last week was my daughter's father-in-law's 80th  birthday so I decided to make a card that would make him smile.

Materials used: SAM_2618(watermarked)
Bugaboo Stamps - Gus Birthday Recount
Decosse's Dynamite Doodles - Spirit of America Kit
X-Press It stamping card
A5 card blank
Copic pens
small number peel-off stickers

I used the number stickers to put the age on the balloon, very discrete!

The balloon backing paper came from the Spirit of America Kit. The image, sentiment and backing paper have all been edged with a black pen.

I feel I must point out that there is no resemblence between Gus and my daughter's father-in-law! Also I am happy to say that it did raise a smile.

Thanks for popping in. Take care.

Pippa
