A birthday party.


We've got a couple of birthday parties coming up so I thought I'd try to get ahead of the game & stamp a card or two. This card is for my daughter's friend (she's turning 11). I thought I'd go *BRIGHT*. Kids at this age are so bubbly & fun that I thought this would be the perfect choice! I had this image colored up awhile ago (using Primsacolor pencil crayons) so I thought I'd put it to use. Not the best coloring (still trying to get my hands on some gamsol & try that technique out... looks SO MUCH better than straight coloring). I played with this card. Used my sewing machine. Pulled out the cuttlebug. Even played with polyshrink - yeah! I love using it to make my own little *charms*. The stamp set used was by MFT and the sentiment was by Stampin' Up!

On these gloomy, rainy dark days a bright card like this makes me smile :)
