A teenage girls birthday card

Hello again.

I made this birthday card for my niece a couple of months ago and am only just getting around to blogging about it now.

I bought a selection of pearlescent cards in a bargain deal when I went to Make-it at FIVE in Farnborough back in March this year and decided that I wanted to use one of the purple ones as my starting point.  With the colour scheme of lilacs and purples set I did some rummaging in my stash to find some other cards and papers.


The striped paper is also from a bargain pack that I got at Make-it, about 100 A5 cards and papers for £1.  The sparkle strip is again from the pack that I bought at The Range.  The stamps have been coloured using a technique that I picked up at a free Do-Craft demo where you ink onto an acrylic block and then pick the colour up with a damp paint brush..



And because the card is for a girl I was able to indulge my inner bling with some gems.



Thanks for looking,  please do feel free to comment if you want to.
