My stepdad asked me to make a card for his granddaughter's 5th birthday coming up next week. So with an actual "commission" I have sorted out my craft-y stuff and made a blinkin' card!! Will wonders never cease?
Anyway Chloe likes pink and I was asked to put her name and the number 5 on the card. I was struggling once I'd Cuttlebugged the alpha's to figure out where I was going to put them on the card and a layout with the cutie pie Penny Black kitty. I found some inspiration from this card on the Spoon Full of Sugar challenge blog. Thanks Mary J!
Kitty is coloured with Copics - E33 for the fur, RV42 on his cheeks, RV21, 23, 29 for the gift, balloons and hat. B00 for the sky and YG11 for the grass. I've Stickled up the ribbon and the name with Star Dust and the 5, the tag and the pompom with Fruit Punch. There is also some Glossy Accents on kitty's nose and the balloons.
The DP is from Basic Grey Euphoria 6x6 pad and the pink card is from stash. It's a standard 15x15cm card. I didn't want to add too much fancy-ness or other bling bits as I was wondering if a 5 year old is going to appreciate it?! Also it has to go through the post to Scotland so the less bulk in the envelope the better I think.
Anyhoo I'm submitting it into the Cute Card Thursday challenge 167 - Embellish It. Hope you like-y.
Hugs
