I am here with a card to share for this month's Diva Inspiration Hop! I am using this week's VLV May Week 2 sketch! Charmaine is the host! Love this sketch, Charmaine! For my card today I needed a birthday card for my baby boy! Except, he is not a baby anymore. He has technically not been a baby for a long time. However, today, he becomes a teenager! WOW! The Big 13! Where did the years go? I am still having a hard time believing it. It seems like just yesterday he was just toddling around. So, here is my very "manly" card for my little guy who is actually taller than me already! Have A Happy Happy 13th Birthday, my son! I combined Happy Days with the newly release Small Celebrations set. I combined these sets to create what I call sentiment building. I also love the large words that come in the Happy Days set that I used to create a soft muted background panel for my sentiment. I have used this set a few times for this look. I used Verve's Cut Above Charming Banner die to create a clip like detailing to house my baby bracelet bead letters. I distressed most of the edges with distressing tool and ink, added a strip of stitched ribbon, and topped it off with a textured button. As always thanks so much for stopping by!
