Luggi's Birthday

It's been Lukas' birthday yesterday, so I had made him a birthday card, of course... As he doesn't like any flowers, ribbons or other girly things I kept it quite clean and simple.
Gestern  war Lukas' Geburtstag, daher habe ich ihm natürlich eine Geburtstagskarte gemacht... Da er Blumen, Bänder und andere Mädchendinge nicht mag hab ich die Karte recht einfach gestaltet.

As I needed a lot of space to write something in, I just used a few hedgehogs to decorate the inside of the card. Unfortunately the photo of the inside of the card is a little blurry... I only found out today, so it is too late to take another photo.
Da ich jede Menge Platz zum Schreiben brauchte habe ich nur ein paar Igel zum Dekorieren der Innenseite benutzt. Leider ist das Foto der Innenseite etwas verwackelt... Das habe ich jedoch erst heute bemerkt und jetzt ist es zu spät noch ein anderes Foto zu machen.


Stamp: "Zu deinem Festtag" from Popcorn the Bear, clear stamps (hedgehogs) from Penny Black
Pigment ink pad in black
Colours: Colour Pencils from Faber Castell, decorative chalks from Joy Crafts
Dies: Spellbinder Nestabilities
