My little brother celebrated his birthday a few days ago. This inspired me to have another go at making a boyish birthday card. When you think of little brothers, they always seem to be cheeky, spoilt, naughty little monsters... (although my brother is definitely not). :) But, I decided to go along with this concept and used the cheeky monster as the theme of the week.

My cheeky monster was stamped on a shimmering white card in Memento Bamboo Leaves using 'Hello, friend' (by Daisy Bucket Designs) and then modified to incorporate a birthday wish instead (in Memento Tangelo). He was then pencil coloured to highlight his quirky facial expression and decorated with light green buttons (from Whirligig Bag-O-Buttons). The scalloped background and word 'your' are a set by Colorbok Sweet Floral collection - absolutely adore the Sweet Floral collection for its soft colours. Finally, cheeky monster is completed with Lax Glitter Letter Stickers (by American Crafts) emphasizing your special DAY in glamour.

So, there you go.. a cheeky birthday wish for my little monster brother. :) Happy birthday, bro!
