Boxing Day Birthday.......


The eldest daughter of some very good friends of ours had her birthday on Boxing Day. This is the card that I made for her.The card base is a z-fold and the papers are from an 8x8 stack called 'Sweet Owl' by First Edition Paper. I cut a model from brown cardstock and dressed her in a chocolate brown polka dot dress with a pearl necklace and brown handbag and shoes all mounted with foam pads onto a scalloped rectangle.
I punched out 2 fancy borders using a large EK Success punch and adhered a strip of thin ribbon along the length of the border before adhereing them to the inside back of the card.'PIA' and 'Happy Birthday' was cut from chocolate polka dot paper and shadowed with pink card then adhered between the borders with foam pads.

A layered bloom with a cordorouy brad in the centre was added to the lower border to complete the card.
Carts used:
Model, shoes & handbag-Forever Young
Scalloped rectangle-Just Because Cards (there is also a scalloped rectangle similar
to this one on A Child's Year
PIA-Ashlyn's Alphabet
Happy Birthday-Stamping Solutions
Back to ordinary cards(woohoo!) now although I do have a couple more Christmas cards to show you.
