Hi there!
I'm joining in the Pretty Pink Posh birthday celebrations today:
It's a 3 day hop, and today is day 3. If you've missed anything so far, click over to the Pretty Pink Posh blog. There have been a few projects that have made me go "wow!" already. Did you see *this* one, by Laura Bassen? Amazing.
I decided to get ahead of the game and make a birthday card for my little niece, Mia. She's turning 2 next month:
Can you spot all of the PPP stuff I used on this card? I had to combine them with some new MFT goodies too. I first die-cut a tag out of masking paper and laid it down on my card-front. I used a checkerboard stencil to create the bubble-gum pink and blue background. When I pulled away the masking paper, I was left with plenty of white space to place my focal images.
The Birdie Brown image is so cute, isn't it? Torico is such an amazing illustrator!
I die-cut the tiny stitched rectangles, and used them to back the letters spelling out Mia's name.
The glitter on the cucpake icing and the sequins add some birthday-girl-appropriate sparkle. I used a mix of different sequin sizes: the tiny clear ones, and the sweetheart mix.
I hope you like it!
