Numpty Magic!..........

There's a bit of a story behind this card. My nephew Dan had his 28th birthday on Saturday ( I can't believe he's that old- he was a titch when I met my hubby!) and he has an alter-ego- yes, you guessed it- Numpty!
Now Numpty is a Magician, and a very silly one at that! You can see Dan in all his Numpty glory on YouTube (just type in Numpty Magic). You'll catch glimpses of his two delightful nieces (Chelsea and Holli) who are his willing assistants. He's a lovely bloke, very silly at times, and smashing with kids, Chelsea and Holli adore him. He's marrying his fiancee Sarah next August- now there'll never be a dull moment in THAT marriage! I decided to go with a magic theme for his card and I came up with this! It's a standard C5 card and I used some starry patterned paper and lots of silver mirri/holographic cardstock. The top hat was cut from black mirri and the bunny peeping from the brim was cut from white Bazzil. I also popped a magic wand in there! I added Dan's name and his alter-ego's name cut from holographic cardstock and adhered with foam pads. The starry punched border is an EK Success punch.A smattering of punched stars completes the card.
Carts used:
Top Hat/bunny/wand- Paper Doll Dress Up
Dan/Numpty Magic- Don Juan
Thanks for dropping by, and take a look at Numpty!
