It's CUTE, right?

While going to the grocery store with my little people, my eyes found this book in the bargain bin and I fell in love.

That little Eliot Jones is the cutest little person! The story was cute too. The kids made me read it twice. I was inspired to make this card.



Actually every page in the book was cool so you might be seeing more cards inspired by this little book in the future.

I really don't do well with "cute" cards so that is what I have been trying to work on. This is my attempt at a cute boys birthday card. I also stink at coloring so I just used an orange distress ink to color the rocket. My beloved Hero Arts newspaper skyline stamp and there you have it. Cute Cute Cute!?!?

  3. This is a fabulous take on the cute birthday boy card - it's not too cutesy as in sickly-sweet but hits just the right spot for the guys!
    Hugs!

  19. Why color when you can achieve such an intense and realistic look with ink? I also like how you've stamped on the fun and funky patterned paper, it adds such depth to the card.
