Dino Land Birthday Card...

Here's another Birthday Card I made for a boy that turned 4 years old...The digi images are from Dustin Pike and printed them small to accomodate several of them in a card.  Made an easel card and so totally happy with this project.


DINO LAND BIRTHDAY CARD:
I colored the images with my Bic/Sharpie and Prismacolor markers...I then cut each one and matted on black and white circles.  The letters were stamped with acrylic paint, cut out, matted and embossed with my Cuttlebug.  And then, I began sewing all over the card and stringing the dinosaurs with a blue twine.  I also used an EK success punch to create borders. 


DINO LAND BIRTHDAY CARD (WHEN CLOSED):
I think a 6 X 6 card is fun to make especially for this many images...I wanted to include more Dino images but it would not fit...But yeah, this is just the perfect size for everything I want to include...
 

DINO LAND BIRTHDAY CARD (LAYERS):
This ended up pretty thick but I love the texture and the feel of this card...Totally awesome!


DINO LAND BIRTHDAY CARD (SPECIAL MESSAGE SPACE):
I think it's very important to have a space where I can write a personal message in each card .  A handmade card is as personal as it can be but unless you write something that is from your heart and scribbled by your hand, there's always something lacking...So, I made sure I have a special place for that in this card.  I inked the panel with the sentiment, matted it and did more sewing.
 
DINO LAND BIRTHDAY CARD WITH ENVELOPE-BOX:
I am pretty satisfied with how this project came to life...Hope to hear what you have to say about this...God bless!
