So my brother-in-law turned 50 and what was I to do but rub it in his face. It wasn't until I was nearly finished with this card that my husband decided to suggest a Hawaii Five-O theme. Really? You wait until I am nearly finished with a unique card that isn't useful for anyone else we know this year?! Anyway I stuck with my original plan and will have to try to remember to use the Hawaiian theme in the future! So here's my attempt at elder humor -
It's a combined stamps project. What can I say if I like a stamp I use it. And I really like how these combined. The image is from High Hopes Stamps and the Large numbers are from Kitchen Sink Stamps. I love both stamp companies - High Hopes for their whimsy and Kitchen Sink Stamps for their beauty. I wanted the graphic punch of a cartoon with this card, do you remember the days when we used to get excited about the color in the newspaper and how they used to print the comics in color on Sunday? I guess I'm showing my age because its a fond memory of mine and that was the sort of feel I was going for with this. Did I get it right? The multi-colored line of "50" is the envelope.
