birthday parade
Happy Wednesday! Today Jen issued a challenge for the All That Scraps Design Team to use glitter. I needed a few teenage birthday cards this week so this is what I came up with. (I needed one for a teen boy as well, but his will not be pink with ribbons…LOL. I’ll share that one later.) When I was making this card, I realized that I still haven’t used the cute lilypad in the Froggie and Friends set. I’ll try to remember that for next time. It’s such a cute set to work with! I decided to make a little birthday parade and added the cupcake and words from the It’s My Birthday set. It’s funny sometimes how a card evolves. I knew I wanted it pink, so I set off looking for some cute pink papers. When I decided to use the Making Memories papers here, I found two triangles that were left over from another project long ago. I was making 4 of these to have some on hand, so I cut the triangles into 4 pieces and incorporated them in the design of the card. The ribbons I had found at Michael’s on clearance and they are the perfect colors.
OK, so back to the challenge…. I used Star Dust Stickles (my fave!) on the cupcake, party hat and balloons. I also added some dots to the Celery Circle and left a little glittery trail behind the snail. ;)
