Worm wishes

 

This is my card for this weeks fussy cutting challenge at JAI. 

 

 

There may be a couple of things about this card that seem a bit strange.

The first is that there are worms on top of a birthday cake and the second is that it’s a 25th birthday card that looks like it should be for a little kid.

Well it was my son’s birthday yesterday and he turned 25. Wow! Doesn’t that make you feel old!!!  But even though he’s getting old too (he’s just a big boy really), he doesn’t like your average “man’s card”, he likes fun and a bit crazy! 

So I had to get creative!

The worms?  Well this was just a bit of silliness.  I had that worm wishes stamp which fitted right in with my girls wanting to give him “gruesome” boys stuff.  You know, skulls, snakes, bugs, ghosts, that sort of thing.  He also loves shows like Bear Grills and Heston’s Feast where they eat weird stuff like bugs.  For Christmas last year he even got a lollypop with a grub in it.  All my girls thought it was gross!

Anyway hopefully you can see that there was some reason behind all of the madness.

 

Ingredients :

Stamps : Bugs and kisses, simple birthday thanks

Card : confetti white, crumb cake, turquoise, white, pear, poppy, peach, choc chip, hostess dsp pack

Ink : choc chip, turquoise and pacific markers

Other :  big shot, timeless type alpha, circle punch, linen thread, crystal effects

 

There was quite a lot of cutting out done on this card.  I used the Simple birthday thanks stamp for the cup cake and cut it out.  I also cut out the worms from bugs and kisses and I freehand cut the flames.  I did not cut the number candles though – that’s what I have a Big Shot for.

I hope you’ll check out the other cards at Just Add Ink and challenge yourself to do some fussy cutting too.
