Aud Sentiments #56 Birthday Sentiment for a Child

Our next challenge over at Aud Sentiments is a Birthday Sentiment for a Child.  We're being sponsored by Tiddly Inks.


I've made a birthday card for my young nephew using a Daisy and Dandelion decoupage (which I've had stashed away for a year or so), mounted onto a Spellbinder's scalloped nestie circle. The backing paper is from the same set. Sentiment is computer generated and has been die cut with a Spellbinders labels die. Card is finished with a football button and some bakers twine.
Love the dimension on the decoupage.




Do pop over to the challenge blog to see my team mates take on this challenge, you won't be disappointed.

Forever Friends - one for boys
Craftroom Challenge - birthdays
