It's Always Someone's Birthday Somewhere

 


Another month, another birthday card to feature. Today I used an image from Ike's Art. I sure miss Sue. She was an artist who really pulled me out of my comfort zone and inspired me to try so many different techniques and media. Anyway, this image is from her Peter Pan collection. 
I used a photo I took from  an airplane I was on, as it was landing at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago. Adhering Peter to the photo with dimensional tape really makes him look like he's soaring above the city. I've used this image once before, and it got my project printed in a magazine.
I colored him with Copics and fussy-cut him for a more realistic look on my card face. a flourish of adhesive pearls marks his flight. and his famous line from the book is embossed in white. Can you tell I eyeballed and cut my own star? (Hah, ha, of course you can. I should have used a button or sticker for my star)
The greeting inside reads, "Hope you have a magical birthday". My box of finished birthday cards is finally filling up. I guess these and mynote cards are the most popular cards that I use. Well, those and Holiday cards...
