I needed a birthday card today so here's what I whipped up. My little guy thinks that every little stamped boy that I make is modeled after him. Sometimes I give them red hair or black hair or blond hair...he still thinks it's him. Hellll-O! You have brown hair, little boy!! This card also fits for the Splitcoast Color Challenge this week - Pink Passion, Kiwi Kiss, and Chocolate Chip.
Anyway, this little boy is actually in the YOU'RE SOME BUNNY SPECIAL set that just came out from STORAGE UNITS, INK & MORE! You can tell by the name that it's an Easter set, right? But look how cute he is...you can use him for anything! The "happy" banner is from SUINK's IT'S MY PARTY set. I'm not sure I could ever get my little boy in an outfit like this one...we would have a mutiny for sure. That's the good thing about stamping, though. You can color however you like!
Supplies: Stamps - YOU'RE SOME BUNNY SPECIAL and IT'S MY PARTY sets by STORAGE UNITS, INK & MORE!, "happy birthday to you" by A Muse; Paper - Pink Passion, Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip by SU!, Papertrey White, patterned paper by We R Memory Keepers for Recollections; Ink - Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, Dark Brown Colorbox Fluid Chalk ink; Other - Copic Markers, SU! scalloped edge punch, American Crafts brads, Papertrey ribbon, Janome Sew Mini machine.
Oh Leigh; this card is SO DARN CUTE!!! You always think of the most creative things. I would have never thought about combining those two sets (and I have them both too). And, I love the color combo.

I love this card!!! What a great idea to use the boy and the banner! I never would have thought of this and they work perfectly together!!! Your coloring is beautiful and I love what you did with the sentiment and your scalloped nesties! Too fun!
Love the story about your son too! Kids are so adorable!
Smiles,

How cute. Funny how kids are. And you are so right you can dress them how ever you want, no way my son would wear this either, lol. I love how you have him holding the banner. Great job.
