Happy August 1st! The sun is shining today - what a glorious way to start a new month. I'm not even going to complain if it is hot - sooooo much better than all the rain! I have a quick and easy card today - very simple, in fact.
The Ian image is from The Greeting Farm. I originally bought it as a digi image but it looks like they no longer sell it as a digi but they do sell it in rubber. Since this is digi and resized to my specifications, I don't know how big the physical stamp is although Ian's and Anya's are pretty substantial stamps in general.
I printed him off on a HP Laserjet 4200 printer and colored him with copic and prismacolor markers. He was colored at the same time I colored the baby girl from a couple of days ago and I didn't write down the numbers. It's a basic red, cool grey, probably 20% and a basic brown.
The sentiment is from Papertrey and stamped in Tuxedo black ink. Because these stamps are acrylic, I actually manipulated the "birthday" part of the sentiment to shape it along the oval cut-out.
Other than that, easy peasy on this one. The kids are sleeping over their grandparents so Mo and I are trying to decide where to go out to eat. I'm off to brainstorm - have a great night!
Super cute card!!

I really like the gray background paper. It makes his cute little uniform really stand out! I hope you had a great night out!
