one of the best cards I've ever made

A Yoda birthday card for my Dad.

First, I picked out some pretty, green patterned paper that I bought from my friend, Aly, a few years ago. (She has been with the company Stampin' Up! for over ten years. You can peruse the pretty papers, along with lots of other fun products and card ideas at www.alystamps.com.)

Second, I found a Yoda stencil online that I liked. I didn't want something too detailed. I cut out the head shape and drew the face.  I used a Sharpie to fill in the face.

Then to get really fancy, instead of glue, I stitched Yoda's face to the card, being careful to stay in the darkened spaces.



I think this is one of the best cards I've ever made.


The inside reads, "A Happy Birthday this year, you will have."
 
 
If you see Mr. Barry, please wish him a Happy Birthday! <3
