I wanted to share the card that I made for my son James' 25th birthday this week. Hard to believe that my firstborn son will be a quarter of a century old when I am only 40...lol! (Don't I wish I was 40...!) I used one of the images from Doodle Pantry for the "Wanted"poster that I used. I used Photoshop to overlay a pic of my son and his girlfriend along with the "wanted" sentiment from the image set. Here is the front of the card...
I used a kraft paper base for the card and then "fussy" cut around the poster. This I placed on black card stock. I used some designer paper; distressing the edges with Tim Holtz tea dye distress ink to place on the front of the card and then added the poster. A couple of buttons that I threaded with baker's twine and the front was done. I was going for a more masculine look and I think less is perfect for that.
Here is the inside of the card...rather simple again...

Very cute and very clever. Happy Birthday to your son. My oldest is 30 and the youngest 19, but they are still little boys in my eyes, but I do my very best to treat them like the wonderful men they have become. What a super way to use the images from DP.
Fantastic card and photo. I saw this on MIM..Loz
