I decided to go with a circle because it was a good chance for me to try out the Martha Stewart Circle Cutter I received for Christmas. My Nesties just aren't big enough to do the card & although I'm wanting some of the Grand Circle Nesties, the MS cutter worked ok. It's difficult to get nice smooth edges but I was going to distress this anyway so it's all good. The digi image is Gingerloft's Hero Man & as soon as I saw him, I wanted him.... hmmmm... now I wonder what my next two wishes should be?
I used the cardstock with the core colour which is how I was able to get that white, ragged edge & coloured the image with Copics. The sentiment & all caption clouds are computer generated (those four little pieces of paper took me about 4 hours to get finished!). For the inside, I did a computer sentiment on Stampin Up's Confetti paper which says 'Happy Birthday to a Super Guy!', cut it with a circle Nestie & plopped it in crooked! As usual, I've left everything until the last minute & don't have time to take another picture for the inside.
