My card base and #8 are from Tropical Teal cs (Gina K), but my photos are showing up more blue than teal...trust me, there's a lot more green in the cs than is showing up!! I started with a white panel that I ink blended Tropical Teal & Tangerine Twist on and then die cut it with The Greetery's Bold Numbers Die and attached it to my Tropical Teal card base. Next I stamped and colored with my Copics the Viking image from MFT stamps and fussy cut him out before attaching him to a Crimped Circle Die in Tropical Teal cs.
I die cut a smaller Crimped Circle Die in Pumpkin Pie cs (SU!) and added the #8 die cut from the Tropical Teal (number is also from The Greetery). Both the number and the Viking have foam tape behind them for a little dimension. As much as I wanted to add some bling, I held myself back and only added one teal gem to the center of his shield.

May I just tell everyone that this card is TOTALLY Teal IRL? Marcia, your grandson is going love VIKE this very much, I'm sure of it! I sure do!

Ack, this is so fun and fabulous and I LOVE it! All those crimped elements look fantastic together. The crimping on the 8 is especially graceful. I love a rich teal green, especially with a warm orange. Such a rich combo. Now, the Viking guy... he is so much fun! I fall for him every time I see him. How great this card is for your soon-to-be 8 yr old grandson!
I have that stamp and die and it keeps hiding from me. But then how many times can you send the same card to someone? lol Those colors worked brilliantly for your Viking and the background die, Marcia. So colorful and fun.
What a wonderful card for your grandson, Marcia! Love the way you did the background in all the different tones of orange and teal. Awesome job and I sure he will love it.
Oh, I love this fella! Every time I see him he just makes me smile. Your grandson is going to love him too, Marcia!
I always love seeing this Viking and your coloring make it very special, Marcia! What a perfect card for an 8 year old boy! I love the crimped circles that add a spotlight to the Viking and 8! Congratulations on getting his card done early!
Fabulous use of the colors, Marcia.
Landon will love this card!
Looks like you're not the only one struggling with the teal colour and photography Marcia, but it takes nothing away from this fab design. I love the die cut number panel, one for my wish list, and your Viking is such fun too. I'm sure your grandson will love it! :)
Awesome! This viking has always been a favorite of mine, then your fun background makes it even more so-- great use of him on this card
This card is so.much. fun. I love all of the different shades of the challenge colors you managed to use. Fabulous. Your grandson is sure to "vike" it!
I am quite sure that birthday card will be a huge hit with your grandson! I love the way the crimped circles mimic the bold Greetery numbers, and love the way you ink blended them for the background. MFT has the best images for kids, and this Viking is terrific! Such a fun card!
Good thing Michele vouched for ya. (Just kidding...LOL!) I love him! This would have been so perfect when my daughter was in grade school as their mascot is a Viking. They even have a 15' statue of one in front of the school. Love the background of numbers as well!
Love seeing this Viking again and your numbers BG looks like it was made with a cover plate! Your grandson will love this card!
