This week's inspirational DT card for Dies R Us is for my big brother, whose birthday is today. Although my brother is still in his 30's he is such a 'big kid' so this sentiment works well with him, although 'Gus' is the spitting image of my Dad, which my brother may not appreciate...
Card ingredients include:
Stamp: Bugaboo Stamps 'Gus Birthday Optional'
Copics: Skin: E00 E11 E13 E15
Hair: W00 W3 W6
Clothes: B12 B14 B18 YG13 YG17 YG45 V06 V17 V09
Scooter: R17 R29 R39 Y15 YR23 YR24
Background: W3 W4 W5 B0000 B00 B02

Dies: Spellbinders Label 38, Avery Elle Chevron Border, Taylored Expression Party Banner Border, Docrafts Xcut Tags & Bookplates
Other: 'Spots' embossing folder, gems, washi tape (coloured spots, coloured lines & music), Wink of Stella, Glossy Accent
I took inspiration from Cardz 4 Guys #36: No Patterned/Designer Paper challenge when creating this card. I embossed the 'Black Cauldron' paper before sanding it back to see the core. I added some music washi tape behind the chevrons & also used washi tape for my 'designer paper' & on my banner too.
I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Great fun Alicia! Love the use of primary colors with your sentiment... makes everything so childlike & celebratory! The music washi tape is a great element and the double banners [?] add a lot to the depth and texture. Nicely done! Thank you for sharing your project & creativity with us!
