Nothing better then waiting to the last second to make a birthday card. I used today’s sketch challenge for Rebecca’s birthday card.
I started by stamping the girl from Birthday Beauty on Whisper White cardstock. I stamped it again on the Polka dotted paper from Petals & Paisleys Designer paper pack. I cut the dress out and glued it down on the girl stamped on white cardstock. I colored the rest of the image and doodled a border.
Then I used Stickles on the crown, sash, flower and the little doodled stars in the border.
The real red cardstock layer is dry embossed with a new embossing folder. The caribbean card base was wheeled with the Jumbo wheel Petals. I also added some faux stitching around the red layer.
I wanted my hardware to sparkle. I inked it up with black Versamagic Dew Drop ink and embossed it with Iridescent embossing powder. I could have used the black craft ink from Stampin’ Up!, but I only have the big pad. The Dew drop ink pad is small and easier to use for this small piece.
The ribbon is May Arts ribbon.

Happy Birthday Rebecca! I can’t wait to get to the sketch challenge. I love your card. If I had girls I might just have to get that set, but it looks like I’m headed for Ahoy Matey.

Oh, My Goodness. So adorable. I missed a lot in a couple days. Happy Birthday to Rebecca!
Okay, was trying to keep away from today’s sketch challenge (no time for play) but once again you’ve inspired me! Love what you did with the hardware! Having 2 young daughters myself, I can never have enough ideas to add sparkle and bling to my projects!
Oh, it’s perfect for an 8 year old girl, I bet she loved it. I hope you all had a great day.
