Okay not literally. But very soon. My daughter is having a birthday and I can't wait. She is making her invitations to give to friends because it's not "cool" anymore to have your Mom do things for you. Except your laundry. :-) Apparently, I embarrass her. Who me? Wink wink.
My card today is for her. A surprise if you will. She doesn't frequent my blog very often so it's a safe bet she will not see this. I made this card based on quite a few challenges.
I recently purged my paper supplies and found this single sheet of Rusty Pickle paper I purchased quite a while ago. I love it! I was happy to discover I had something like this in my collection. I cut the paper doll out to be the main image which I placed on this super cool hot pink embossed felt. I have no idea where it came from. I have just a smidgen of it but it was enough for this card. The ribbon is "new" because a crafty girl can never have too much ribbon. ;-) The stamps are "Close to My Heart" that Amy Heller sent me a while back. The rub on was another remnant I discovered and thought the ticket would be cute with this. The Making Memories stick pins are from last Spring. I also found some vintage school book paper. Finally, I used my PTI distressing inks to make this a true vintage feel.
Create with Connie and Mary: #132 sketch
Gingerloft: 8 distressing (I used my PTI distressing inks on edges)
Paper Issues: new (ribbon)
Paper Sundaes: something new (ribbon)
Pile It on: brand new (ribbon)
Stampin' Royalty: #53 birthday
and
The Shabby Tea Room: #43 use 11 elements breakdown of this: cardstock, pattern paper, felt, ribbon, rhinestone, stick pins, rub-ons, floss, button, ink, and stamps= 11 items for this card. Whew! I was challenged for this but in a good way! :-)
Okay off to play on the Wii with my daughter. We are going to try the 'Just Dance 2' tonight. Wish me luck! :-)
