"ZANY ZOO" BIRTHDAY CARD (AND A CUTE PHOTO BOMBER)


Today is my nephew's 30th birthday!  I'll admit that the card I made for him might look a bit juvenile with the (not black and gray) raccoon holding balloons, but I thought the image was cute, festive, and one that adds a pop of color.  Why is the raccoon not black and gray?  Well . . . coloring with black ink is scary--especially on a small image where a very dark color can all of a sudden become way too much of a very dark color.


I wanted to make sure this little guy looked as cute as the balloons he's holding.  Even though this card was made for a 30-year-old man, it still needed some coordinating sparkly gems.  Can you spy the lighter green gems that are beside some of the die-cut letters on the darker green paper?  I was hoping they wouldn't blend in as much as they did--they're scattered between the die-cut letters on the dark green paper.  


A coordinating pocket was adhered to the inside of the card to hold a nice little check.  Isn't that what every 30-year-old nephew wants for his birthday?


While I was trying to take photos of the card, my sweet little Jack photo bombed--and totally stole the focus!  But look at his adorable little face.  Who could be mad at that?  


Happy birthday, Bryson!!!
