For this card I used a stamp from Lily of the Valley. I colored the image with Promarkers, but the paint is paper pieced with the same paper as I used for the background. I also added glossy accent to give the paint that glossy look that paint has.I used 3 different DPs - one piece of scrap for the die cut frame, one from Prima and one from Carta Bella.
I used Spellbinder dies Label 28 for the panels with my sentiment. It's in Norwegian, it's from Storyteller, and it translates "Wishing you a day filled with smiles and laughter". I especially like this sentiment as it can be used for birthdays but also other occasions.
I added twine for embellishment, but left my card rather clean.
This card is for these challenges:
1) Paper Crafting Journey - For the Boys
2) Gem of a Challenge - #100 Let's hear it for the boys
3) Storyteller - #1 Everything is Allowed (Storyteller text stamp)
4) ABC Challenges - Cards for Kids
5) C is for Challenge - Boys & Men
