You're Super!

Hello, and welcome!

So glad you made the time to drop by.....I miss ya when ya don't!
Not had much time for craftin'. last few days, but I'd started a card for my grandson's birthday, which is 20th June, and managed to finish it, today.
Remember William, who was recently baptised?........Well, this is his little brother, Finlay.......a real live-wire.......no, really, he is.......spend any time with him, and you begin to think he's plugged into the mains!  He has more energy.....and imagination....than any other child I know.....and he'll be turning five years old.
Seems to me that I'm always goin' on about all these grandchildren, but rarely let you take a peek at them.......so, here's William, with his Daddy, Ian, on his baptism day.........

William is very tall for his age........but so is Ian.........he's 6 feet 8 inches!

And with Mummy, Gillian........


This is Finlay.....the next birthday boy.....taken when we were hanging those infamous 29 stockings, last Christmas Eve, so you'll catch sight of some of the rest of the clan,  in the background, lol........

Finlay is absolutely mad about Super Heroes (any will do, as long as they have a costume), and I think he has more Super Hero outfits than ordinary clothes! 
Which leads me to the card.......


Had to be a Super Hero, now, didn't it.........

I can't find the details of the stamp set, but I've had it for ages, and it includes other "boy" images that I'm sure you'll be seeing pretty soon........all coloured up with PMs, and a tiny "F" from a tiny alphabet sticker sheet, which I coloured, too.......used some of that zingyglittery ModPodge on the mask and cloak, and layered him onto some sequin waste, which was on a scrap of blue card.....all up on pop dots........

The sentiment is part of the same set, and there goes that glittery stuff again, lol......handcut a circle from the DP paper, so sorry if it looks a bit wobbly, ha!

Found the ribbon in my stash, and pinned it with two blue stars, at the corners..........

Cut this ickle fella from a piece of the DP (think it's All About Boys), and popped him up on the dots, to finish off.......

Let's see if he likes it......hmmmm!
Thanks for visiting.......love it when you comment.....who doesn't, lol!
