Edwin Wants A Hug

My friend's nephew is celebrating his first birthday and here's the card I made for him..

This is Edwin Wants A Hug from the You're So Special Collection 2011..

I used an Anita's Square Quality White Card Blank for the base.. The patterned papers are from Magnolia.. The blue and white textured papers from Papermania..

This butterfly is a Magnolia Doohickey.. And so is the Star Tag which is made out of a pice of corrugated cardboard ..

The white pearls are from WOC.. the blue ones from Kaisercraft..

These beautiful paper flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.. The blue stamen is from a local store..

All the edges are distressed and sewn..

I added a little bit of crackle paint on the star.. And there's some cheesecloth under the second layer of paper..

The flags are also a Doohickey .. I added some crackle paint on them too..

I used the Tim Holtz Typeset alphabet to cut out the boys name and the Vintage Market Alphabet die for the number 1..

The image is stamped on 300g Montval Canson acquarel paper and coloured with Distress Inks..

Can you see the Liquid Pearls around Edwin???

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

1. TOMIC #49 - BINGO (Flowers - Magnolia patterned paper - Pearls)

2. Just Magnolia - Week 155 - Anything Goes

Hope you enjoyed..

Hugs, Tina
