For Someone Special



My card today is for the challenge over at Crafty Ann's which is to make a card for Someone Special.  This card is for my neighbour to give to her Great Grandson Rylee who will be 5 at the end of this month.  He is getting a Nintendo DS along with a Super Mario Game from his Mum and Dad, so I went along to Ann's Digi Shop and bought one of her latest designs,  the games console which looks exactly like a DS.  I then did some Googling and came up with the Mario Pictures.  I took all these images into Paint Shop Pro and married them all together.  I left the console white and just coloured in the controls. I used foam tape to lift the lid of the console and then mounted the image onto a nestie circle.  The bp is DCWV and just called The Stack.  

I really enjoyed making this card and am really pleased with the way it turned out.  Thank you for visiting my blog and for all the wonderful comments you leave.  Beryl x
