Happy Birthday Abigail

Our eldest granddaughter, Abigail, celebrates her 5th birthday today.  She loved the card that I made for Jae’s birthday and requested one like that for her birthday.  I spent a lot of time on this card and I hope she likes it.

She loves the rabbit and deer from Forest Friends (retired Spring Mini) which is what I used in Jae’s birthday card.

I used my Circle Scissors (now available in the Summer Mini Catalogue) to cut the Whisper White and Chocolate Chip Circles.  I stamped and masked the rabbit, tree and deer and used a torn post it note to create the sky and grass, sponging on Kiwi Kiss and Blue Bayou ink.  I also stamped an extra deer onto Whisper White card and cut it out so that I could mount it over the top of the first one to give some extra dimension.

The Kiwi Kiss card has been stamped with the Sanded Background using Kiwi Kiss  Ink.  The Pink Pirouette card has been stamped with the butterfly image from the Sprinkles stampset (she also loves butterflys) using Pink Pirouette ink  and the edges were also sponged with the same ink.

I punched the edges of a strip of Chocolate Chip card with the Eyelet Edge Punch and wrapped it with the striped Pink Pirouette grosgrain ribbon.  I added the six clear rhinestone brads (what little girl doesn’t love a little bling) before assembling the card. 

I love the way it turned out.  I am especially loving circles at the moment – I hope you don’t get sick of them. 

This is my third post for today (which must be some sort of record) so I won’t be back until at least tomorrow.

Bye for now,  Kris
