Magic Birthday Card

I haven't been able to be around in blogland much this past week, but I will try and do a catch-up tonight. I got myself an iPad yesterday - I think it's going to have its permanent home in my handbag so I can bring it everywhere - lol.
This is the card I made for hubby's birthday this year. I used two images from QKR - "Magic Card" on the front and "One Year Older" for the inside. I colored the images using Promarkers and added some dry glitter to the sentiments on his panels and gold glitter glue to some of the stars surrounding him.
For the front I used DP and an embossed paper with stars. I sanded the paper to allow the stars to be more visible. I die cut a couple of stars from gold glitter paper and a circle of corrugated cardboard, and finished it all off with a piece of twine.
For the inside I used the same colors and some die cut stars, and the birthday sentiment is placed onto a piece of washi tape using peel off stickers.

This card is for these challenges:
1) Crafty Sentiment Designs - Birthdays
2) Sweet Stamps  - #148 Glitter
3) Card Crafter's Circle - # 105 - Golden Days  (stars and peel off stickers)
4) Make it Monday - Anything Goes

    This is fabulous Pia. I am sure he chuckled like me. Fab image/colours and layout.

    I got an i Pad on Monday so I think a lot of learning to do on my part. You are a lot younger so things will sink in quicker or you know it all already. Lol!!!

    Merry Christmas sweetie.

    How fun is this card, love the sentiment. All your embossing is wonderful and the added stars gives a nice touch. The inside turned out wonderful.
    Super gift a new iPad and they are so much fun, can't blame you for wanting to take it with you every where.
