This is one of the rare cards where no tools have been used and no embellishments have been added! No embossing folders, no embossing powder either. The only things I've used are a cutting board, DPs, stamps and Promarkers.
I hand cut the banners to use some up some of those narrow strips of paper that always seem to be left after making cards. I mounted them onto a red DP with stars and a panel of kraft. I attached this onto a square of white paper. All DPs are from Carta Bella.
I love this image from Lily of the Valley - I'm sure I'm going to use this boy for some Christmas designs too. I stamped a birthday greeting with black ink.
This card is for these challenges:

2) Pattie's Creations - #79 Birthdays
3) Seize The Birthday - Anything Birthday
4) Crafty Sentiment Designs - For The Guys
