Happy Birthday Rhea.....

I made this card for our friends' daughter Rhea's birthday which was was on Thursday. As a child Rhea used to love clomping around the house in her Mum's shoes (and mine when we went to visit!) so I thought she'd appreciate a pair of killer heels on her card.
I made a shaped easel for the base and decorated it with Paris Nights papers from g.c.d I added velvet ribbon and bows and a pair of fab shoes cut from black mirri and red glittercard. I punched mini flowers from black glittercard and adhered them to the shoes and added a red gem to the middle of each flower. I cut a shaped plaque to hold the name and trimmed it with small red bows and black pearls. A large layered flower was added to border along with some more pearls. 'Rhea' was cut from red glittercard and adhered with foam pads to the plaque which acts as the stop. 'Happy Birthday' was cut from red glittercard and shadowed with black mirri. This was adhered with foam pads. On reflection I think that Happy Birthday should have been 1/2" bigger, but heyho!
