Congrats Menai!


The eldest daughter of some good friends of ours qualified as a Doctor last week- well done Men!-so I made her this card. Her younger sister Rhea qualified a couple of months back and I featured her card in a previous post too. I used some pretty pink paper from Papermania, some blue spotty paper (unknown scource) and glitter & mirri card for the frame and stethescope. I cut the frame from cream coloured glittercard and backed it with peachy-pink glitter card. I paper-pieced a stethescope from silver and pink mirri card and also cut Congrats from pink mirri. 'Menai' is cut from blue glittercard. The blue panel is edged with a Fiskars border punched and wrapped with swirly voile ribbon. I added three candy dots to finish.
Carts used:
Frame & Stethescope- Wild Card (you'll need RDS on to get a good sized frame)
Congrats & Menai- Lyrical Letters (Connected & Jumbo fonts)
In case you're wondering, Menai's name is the same as the Menai Suspension Bridge over The Menai Straits in Wales. Isn't it a pretty name ? I can tell you that she is a VERY pretty girl too!
Thanks for looking!
