This year my eldest son turns….21!
Wow! a major milestone for him…..and my husband and I survived!
One down and 3 to go!
I’m still trying to sort invitations and venues….then Global Design Project said this weeks challenge was…..
Now Aaron is an outdoor sort of boy, he’s been a Scout and now is a Leader, is a member of RFS- Rural Fire Service and is a diesel mechanic….
what great opportunity to make him a card.
I wanted to do something that had a masculine feel to it.
A CRATE…..with an EXPLOSION of BALLOONS coming out of it…
Had never done a Card in a Box before, this will be interesting!
I stamped my box and extra card stock with the Hardwood stamp and then cut it up to create the reinforced sides of the crate.
The balloons was stamped with Balloon Celebration and highlighted with Wink of Stella- Clear.
The large numbers cut from Glimmer Paper makes them pop out from amongst the balloons.
The Instructions for the box I used the You Tube clip by Tanya Bell.
