Sharing a Ninjago themed birthday card made for a special young man.
It's my usual What's on your workdesk Wednesday (woyww#783) which is now being hosted by Sarah Brennan (Sarah's Craft shed) follow the link if you are interested to see what like minded folk have been up to and here is a link to the original Stamping Ground about WOYWW
Not much to show on my desk this week, but this was the inspiration for the card that I have made. A decorated Ninja stone that sits in my garden by the bench with a few others.
I came across a themed birthday invitation on Pinterest and thought that it would make a cool birthday card. I found a free set of the printable eyes, also on Pinterest to use for my card, and added a little glossy accents to the centres for some dimension.
I used an A4 textured sheet of red card to create my card base and just printed off an image with the Lego Ninjago shuriken and golden sword in it for my embellishments, as I wanted the likeness to be as close as possible.
Once cut out I stuck these onto cardboard and my shuriken was heat embossed with clear embossing powder and my sword was edged with gold gilding wax.
Inside, I have added a yellow panel of cardstock to match the eyes, to complete my card and my sentiment will be written on the back where I have also added a panel for that.
Along the edges of the black bands I also added some black peel offs that I found in my stash for a bit more definition.
This one was quite fun to make and didn't take long either.

Have a great rest of your week, whatever you have planned for yourself.

I laughed out loud when I saw the Ninjago cards! The eyes peeking through are just genius, it’ll be a hit for sure. I remember Ninjago when my boys were small (now 31 and 28) so they’ve been going for some time. The pebble is also great fun, I really enjoyed seeing your crafting today, thank you.
