Birthday Wishes & Hugs

Howdy, hope everyone is well today & enjoying every moment possible - we shall NOT be beaten down by the current situation!

I have a card today that I made awhile ago but wanted to save it until post-Birthday, and I've made it (actually last week!).  This is for my 8 year old grandson, oh my!  Here is my card (made in advance of the "theme" decision) ~


I started by stamping the image, masking it, then layering the stencil over the top to blend the sun rays.  I then removed the stencil but left the mask intact and did some more ink blending to soften everything up and add the sun behind the pilot.  Then I commenced to Copic coloring and stamping.

We couldn't do much for grandson's Birthday, but my middle daughter came up with the idea of a scavenger hunt.  My youngest daughter, his mom, came up with the idea of making the fun "hobbit-themed" so she did a lot of the clues that led him around.  All this to say, my grandson went all over the Tri-Cities escorted by his mom, visited each family member's home, got to do activities, puzzle solving, challenges, hiking, eating meals based on the books and finding his presents!  We had a blast but kept our distance while he was at our locations, but Grandson and daughter had an entire day filled with activities - literally!  I'm pretty sure he won't forget this one, even though he couldn't share with everyone or his friends all at once.

Hope you enjoyed the card, and possibly the story.  Good wishes to each and every one of you!

Supplies:
   Cat's Pajamas - Flying By
   MFT - Sun Rays
   ?? - sorry can't seem to find the "hugs" set...

Hugs,
TK

What a great way to celebrate a birthday for an 8 year old. I'm sure he loved spending time with Mom. And I'm sure he loved his birthday card with the helicopter bunny.
