A Gem of a Challenge - Anything Goes!

Good morning everyone! I hope your weekend is off to a great start. This morning I'd like to announce that I've joined the group of amazing designers at A Gem of a Challenge - where we feature Pink Gems Designs digistamps available from the Polkadoodle digi store! Nikky carries a wide range of Pink Gems digis - you've got one stop shopping all under one umbrella here. There's something for everyone!

Our Gem of a Challenges run for 2 weeks, so you've got lots of time to link up. Check out the challenge blog HERE. 

Our challenge is, as always, Anything Goes! Yay!

For today's project I've created a sweet boy's birthday card featuring Ella Elephant Heart Balloon. My sentiment can be found in the Helga Hippo sentiment bundle from Polkadoodles.

To start with, I printed out this fun background paper from Little Dudes Rugby/Football onto cardstock and cut it to size from the template. After I scored it and did a test fold, I sized and printed my sweet Boo image Party Friends onto Neenah white cardstock and colored with Copic Markers - I buy all of mine at Scrapbookpal.com for their fast shipping and awesome service. Wonky stitched oval dies from Gina Marie Designs. Papers from Kaiser Craft. The acrylic Boy sentiment is from a huge stash I picked up at a local craft shop garage sale...if you know what the brand is, PLEASE TELL ME! Embossing folder from Cuttlebug. Tons of foam tape on the various layers, for extra dimension.

I'm entering this into the following challenges - 

Artistic Inspirations - #215: AG (unlimited)
Through The Craft Room Door - AG (2/2)
Crafty Sentiments - May 7: AG (1/1)
Crafting from the Heart - #242: AG (3 of 3)
