For my Nephew !!

Okay, I am back because... of course to share a card. But this one is real special to me coz I am sending this for my nephew who will be turning 2 in June. When I was in India last year, I was able to spend some good time with him :) I even taught him how to make sounds of a few animals, LOL. It was so much fun and now he talks to me on phone and says just two words "come soon", oh I miss him so very much :)
So I decided to make a card that is both bright and interactive for him to play with :) This is not a kind of card, I would usually make but for my cutie pie, I can make an exception :) here's a shaker card for him...

To make it, I created an underwater scene on the shaker base by inking and sticking some die cut plants. stamped and cut out fishes. I cut out the frame and wrote Happy birthday all around it. On the card base I stamped a few flowers and adhered the shaker. To add more interest I added a few star fishes and a crab on the frame. I hope he will enjoy :) Here's the photo of my nephew :)

That's him when I was in India :) A surprised look in one and in another he seems to be thinking deeply :) Though I wonder what an 18 month old might think ;)

I was inspired by a few challenges -
1. Seize the sketch #21
2. Color Q #244
3. Time out Challenge #7 - Summer
