Cool Dude

This is the birthday card I made for my super cool snowboarding brother in law.

For both his and my sister’s 45th birthday they went on holiday. My sister learnt to ski last year which was a long time ambition of hers and they went on holiday together in January for the first time without any kids and had a fabulous time.

This was the first digital image I have coloured in my new craft room which was pretty exciting :) The image is from Meljen’s Designs and the Cool Dude sentiment from Pollycraft, both of whom have now closed down.

I knew exactly what image I wanted to use so started with my patterned paper from Basic Grey and that dictated my colour palette. I added the ribbon for a bright pop of colour and the Happy Birthday sentiment has been recycled from a shop brought card. Photography on this was not the best as the metallic finish on the wording picked up the light source no matter which direction it was turned.

Materials Used in this Project are as follows:- 

Card size – A5

Image – Cool Snowboarder by Meljen’s Designs (closed)

Paper – Basic Grey

Sentiment – Cool Dude by Pollycraft Digital Stamps (closed)

Tools – Letraset Promarkers & Flexmarkers,
