First Birthday Card for Thomas

I made this card for my God-son Thomas' first birthday. I love the background paper which I've had in my stash for a while (I think it might be from Kaisercraft). The photo-realistic grass contrasts with the cartoony style of the other images, which I cut on my cricut mini using the create-a-critter cartridge. I love using bakers twine on my cards and this one is no exception. This green twine is from the Dovecraft riverbank revels collection. I used a yellow My Paper World paper pen instead of enamel dots - it works out much cheaper and I can create them just the size I need each time. Finally I used my dymo label maker and a light blue label tape to complete the sentiment.
