Sam.....

My boss Jennie's daughter Sam was 21 last Wednesday and we went to her party last night. She shared the occasion with her brother Jon who is joining the Royal Navy in June (I'll show you the card that I made for him tomorrow)
The card is an 8" square, and I used some papers in Sam's fave colour, purple. The little lady on the card was cut at 11" and then I chopped off her bottom half so that she would fit snugly in the corner. I dressed her in a purple shimmery embossed dress and blinged her up. Now I wanted to make the image look older so I did a make-up job on her!

I cut her out of white cardstock and coloured her with ProMarkers shading her cheeks and adding some lips. I also added irises to her eyes with a blue watercolour pen and some lashes and eyebrows too. I finished her make-up with some glittery 'eye-shadow'. I hand cut a pressie and wrapped some narrow purple ribbon around it and added a bow. The completed figure was adhered to a central panel, which was embellished with a sheer bow, Hobby House bloom and pin, and the name and age cut from glittercard. A smattering of gems completes the card.
