Daniel's Birthday Card - Quixotic Paperie Challenge


Whilst browsing blogland last week, I came across Craftyc's (Claire) blog and noticed that she wanted people to make a card for her son, Daniel. It was only two days from his birthday, but I really wanted to send him a card as I knew it would mean so much to him. Therefore, it's not the most elaborate card in the world, as I dashed it off in a few minutes - but he seemed to enjoy the cards he received. As a mum to two children with Autism, I know how much enjoyment our children can gain from the simplest of gifts. I was going to write his name on the hoody but I forgot!!


Quixotic Paperie's second challenge has the theme - Stitching and can be real or faux. As I'm deadly near a sewing machine (I think I still have the scars to prove it!), I'm entering this card with my pretend stitching instead. :)


Stamped Image: My Guy Ian by The Greeting Farm, coloured with ProMarkers.

Background Stamping: Sentiment Circles by Autumn Leaves.
Sentiment: Birthday Messages and Whimsical Numbers by Hero Arts.

Papers: Citronella Designer Mat Pad by K&Co.

Faux stitching - Inkssentials Opaque Pen in White by Ranger.

  2. Hi Janeen - Perfect card for a young boy - I'm sure Daniel will love it, and it certainly doesn't look like it was made in a rush. Hope you are having a good week.
    Love, Sylvia xxx

  7. Hi Neenie, where have you disappeared to? I'm missing you and your lovely creations!
    There's something for you on my blog (yes, again). You may have received this award already, but I didn't find it on your blog.
