GC20 shades of blue


The theme at Gingersnap this week is shades of blue.
I made this birthday card for a 12 year old boy, who'd have thought you could get away with using balloons on a 12 year old boy's card? but I think it works with this little fella.
The boy is from stampotique (available from Happy Daze in the uk) and the balloon is actually taken from a forever friends stamp. I have coloured with whispers markers and hand drew the string and bow.
