Lego Card

Hello and welcome to
Kristie Kreates!

Today I have a birthday card to share 

with you.  My niece's little guy loves

Legos, so I thought a Lego card would

be perfect for him.

I started with a piece from my stash that

I had created with alcohol inks on glossy

paper.  I simply swiped across the paper

with green, then swiped stripes across with blue,

 turned the paper 90 degrees 

and swiped with more blue.

  This created a plaid background.

 I thought this would work well for a 

background panel.

I then created the legos with my 

Silhouette Studio Designer Edition software.

These were simple enough, just a rectangle 

and circles.  I cut them out with my Silhouette,

using scraps from my stash.

I glued the "base" pieces onto the background panel,

then used round foam adhesive behind the circles

to give the dimension of the Legos.

I used foam tape to adhere this piece to a 

white card stock base, to make a sort of

pocket.

I made a tag to slip in behind the 

Lego panel.
I found a Lego font online, downloaded

it and cut that for the

Happy Birthday sentiment.

When Anthony opened his card, I heard

a "Oh Wow!" from him and that made

me smile.

Thanks for spending time at my blog today,

I hope you've been inspired in some way.

Now go be creative!
