Hello everyone!
So the other day I was in the mood to make a girly birthday card just because. After all the Halloween cards I've made and then gearing up for the Christmas cards I just needed a bit of a "break" so this was the result:
It's embarassing to admit but I had yet to use my Magical Wishes stamp set (hangs head in shame) so I decided to go with that and then pulled out my Princess Anya image to go with it.
The patterned paper is from the Echo Park Springtime pack. I die cut a bunch of the patterns with my circle Spellbinders dies.
The ribbon is Mellow Moss taffeta from Stampin' Up!
I did a video on coloring the image - you can see it here:
And as always you can watch the video directly on YouTube HERE <----click!
After I had finished filming I ended up adding a bit of V93 and V95 to her lids as "eyeshadow".
Of course I had to bling her up a bit so I added Diamond Stickles to her crown and scepter and her dress. And then a teeny bit of it to her lids cuz a girl's gotta have sparkly eyeshadow *wink*.
The little diecut branches behind the prima roses were actually made with the new C.C. Designs Cutter Mistletoe Die. I cut out the branches, sponged them with ink then trimmed them down a bit before adhering them to the card.
The sentiment like I said is from my Magical Wishes stamp set. I stamped it onto one of the patterned papers then cut it out with one of the Spellbinders tag dies (I can't find a link to them sorry!).
All those little sparkly baubles are Stamping Bella Glitter Dots. I've had them for years and always forget about them. You just glue them down with liquid glue (I used Tombow Mono Multi) and you're good to go.
On the inside of the card I followed the same "circle theme" I had going on the front - just making sure to use a "plainer" patterned paper for the largest circle as that's where the giver would write the note on.
The sentiment is again from Magical wishes - I thought it fit quite nicely on the yellow circle (and saved me from having to die-cut another label) so that's where I stamped it.
