Edward Boy's Birthday Card

I LoVe LOVE this Edward stamp!  He was my inspiration for this whole card.  I just got him and of course had to use him, he is soo darn cute.  This will go to my grandson, I know my daughter will incorporate this card into his scrapbook...hehehe.  Actually she may steal it, she's the Edward fanatic.  This card came together nicely.  I was kinda sick of green but used it anyway.  One of the challenges called for using your gemstone color.  Since both mine and the birthday boy's are Emerald for May I decided to get out the green's.  Didn't have to worry about face coloring, left it white.  I really need to invest in more SU markers!  This little Cutie fits into 9 Challenges, I know it could be entered into lots more.  I am still afraid and don't want to get booted again...lol.  These are the challenges I entered:

•

I did not reinforce the base of this easel card with chipboard because I think my daughter will scrap it into my grandson's scrapbook ASAP.   Thanks for looking.  Really appreciate the comments.
