Happy 21st Baby Brother!

This is the latest card that I have made. It was for my brother's 21st Birthday, which was last Sunday and on the first day of Spring. It is different from my usual style, as it involves ripped and cut-out coloured card. Normally, I draw cutesy things like teddy bears and flowers, using colour pencils, but I wanted to create a card that is more suitable for a guy than a girl. The cute teddies are normally for my Mum and my Gran!

There is a contrast in the collage card, as some of it is textured and some is shiny and smooth. On the textured card, I have used colour pencils to add further depth and interest. Wrapping a ribbon around two squares of shiny, blue card makes a present. This was attached with glue dots and sticky pads. The text is written in blue Biro...which has coincidentally just run out of ink!
