How I Created the Card:
I started by cutting out the eight-ball using the HA + RT Interactive Eight-Ball Fancy Dies, mixing the elements of a traditional pool ball and the iconic Magic 8 ball. To make it pop, I added glossy accents to the eight-ball, which gave it a sleek, shiny appearance—just like a real pool ball.
The card itself is built on a bold green background, mimicking a pool table surface. I added pops of color by placing partial circles of other pool balls in red, yellow, and blue around the edges. These contrasting colors draw the eye toward the central eight-ball.
Sentiment Details:
For the sentiment, I used the curved "I'm not saying you're getting old, but..." stamp from the set. This was stamped in black using the Hero Arts Intens-ified Black Ink Pad, which gives a crisp, bold look that stands out against the green background. The triangle inside the eight-ball reads “It seems so, yes,” adding a humorous twist that fits the playful nature of the Magic 8-ball theme. The sentiment inside completes the Birthday card.
Finishing Touches:
I love how the glossy finish on the eight-ball creates a realistic look, making this card extra special. It's a great card for guys, whether it's for a birthday or just for fun!
