Ladybug Crafts Ink carries a fabulous line of The Teenagers digital images featuring Jess and Josh that I've found to be unique and perfect for using on current day projects to share loving thoughts and wishes with teens.  I've used The Teenagers Texting Josh to create a birthday flip-easel card.  My biggest challenge was figuring out where I wanted him to be.  Is he at the mall? on a ship? at a boardwalk? a ballgame? a bridge?  Finally I used my Copic Multiliner to scribble some squiggly lines behind him with the hopes of it looking like water.

This view shows my Copic-filled image.

Layers of Bazzill Candy Apple cardstock with TCP Studio Party Hearty Birthday Wishes double-sided patterned paper form my flip-easel card and faux stitching adds a contrasting border.  I've used the die-cutting "beyond the edge" technique with a Spellbinders Labels Five to shape my image.  A Close To My Heart Card Chatter - Birthday set provides my It's Your Birthday sentiment.  A handmade accent daisy made from Punch Bunch small daisies, mini sun and small birch leaf sets near my sentiment with a Stampin' Up! ladybug from an All Wrapped Up Accessories set.

Here's a view of my completed card front showcasing Ladybug Crafts Ink The Teenagers Texting Josh . . .

The base includes a popped up "It's Your Special Day" rubberstamped sentiment by Endless Creations with a couple of phrases cut out from the patterned paper . . .

Here's a view of my flip-easel card, open and ready for display . . .
