Happy Birthday Dad Easel Card

My father celebrated his...25th birthday...again!  Don't worry Dad, I won't give out your real age :)  When my Dad received this card, he asked me, "When did you take this picture of me, I don't remember it?"  I love you Dad! :)

 I love this image.  This is Gus from Bugaboo Stamps.  When I saw him, I knew I was going to do this for my Dad.

 The punch I used to hold up the easel card is Beach Edger Punch from EK Tools.  The sentiment inside is computer generated and says, "Birthdays celebrate the gift of time.  We celebrate the gift of you."

I colored dear old Gus in with Copics and used Glossy Accents for the glasses.

The sentiment comes with the Gus digi image, it says, "At my age I can wear whatever I want!"

CHEERS! Birthday Easel Card

Since my Wonderful Hubby bought me my very own laptop, I am on a roll with posting :)

My wonderful SIL, Beth had a birthday.  She is such a sweet gal.  I wanted her to be the first to receive this card that was so fun to make.

This beautiful lady is Dottie from Bugaboo Stamps.  I used Copics to color her in and I used Glossy Accents for her bracelet, earrings and martini.  Her ring is Stickled...but the next one I do will be glossy accented.

 I learned this new (favorite) technique for me...an easel card.  I searched YouTube for instructions.  I popped up the purple shadow and Dottie image.  The inside sentiment says, "Birthdays celebrate the gift of time.  We celebrate the gift of you!"  I just love that saying.
