I dig you... So you’re invited!

Our son will be turning 3 next month - HOLY MOLY where has the time gone? He has been very into dinosaurs for the past year so we thought it would be fitting to have a dinosaur theme birthday party for him. Those of you who know me know how much I love to throw a party and sometimes may (perhaps) go a little over board with the decorations. I think I may have set a bar a little high with Ethan’s 1st under water theme birthday party and last year’s 2nd train theme birthday party so this year I decided to give myself (and all of the wonderful family and friends who have helped out in the past) a break and have his party at an indoor play place for kids! We selected the dinosaur theme party so this year both my husband and I will be able to kick back and enjoy, rather than being up until 1am the night before finishing the decorations J

I did however want to make his invitations!!! I loved the sketch for this week’s Freshly Made Challenge so I decided to go ahead and use it as the template for Ethan’s invitations.

My Challenge:
My Card:
Tiny Tips:
It is possible to make a simple card still receive that WOW from its recipients! One of my tricks for doing so is adding lots of layers and textured papers. On this card I used two different embossing folders, my crimper as well as sponging to add another element of texture.

Thanks for stoppin’ by!
