Honey - The Birthday Girl

 This week All That Scraps Weekly Wednesday Challenge was to create a birthday card. 

Here's the card I made for my sweet little grand niece who turned 2 on November 10th. She lives in New Zealand (it's spring there) so I thought the C.C. Design's August Honey would be perfect. Such a cute little girl with lots of  "flower power"!!

I started with a variety of Rainbow Sherbet patterned papers from Stampin'Up and added some of the solid card stock in Tempting Turquoise, Green Galore and Apricot Appeal. Honey was coloured with my copic markers and even though I don't have a lot of colours I did try to use the three main ones from the papers on her clothing and accessories. 

After colouring Honey I carefully cut her out and attached the image to a piece of oval dotted paper. This was matted onto the turquoise paper and then sewn with my machine for added detail.The larger printed paper was mounted onto Apricot Appeal and sewn as well - then applied to the turquoise card base.

I used matching buttons tied with scrapper's floss ( the floss was coloured with copics).

A small flower punch was used to create 3 turquoise flowers that were attached to the apricot flower and held together with a brad. A small pearl was added to Honey's hair accessory.

Turquoise ribbon and a small sentiment panel  (Papertrey Ink) finishes the card front .

I wanted to co-ordinate the inside of the card, so I added a bit of 'grass' to the bottom of the card and then added more punched flowers in the various colours. Stickles were used to create the flowers' centers. 

I found the birthday poem on the internet, and printed it in a matching colour. Finally I sewed the inside panel to the card base - all ready for sweet little Mattie!
