Birthday Yvette

     Welcome to a New Year of cards and projects. Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. I've put my "holiday" supplies away and can hardly wait to get inky with all my new Christmas presents - stamps, felt, dies, stickers and paper packs. 

     This card was made last fall - notice the green grass behind the card!!  I had just bought Yvette from Stamping Bella and wanted to make a birthday card for one of my nieces and knew that I would have it in my stash when the time came to send it off! This one is heading to New Zealand for a birthday at the end of January.

Yvette makes me smile - she's in such a happy mood.

     I started with the patterned paper mounted on pink card stock and then a white card base. The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured with copic markers. And then (call me crazy) I carefully cut around the detailed image so it could be mounted onto the card. I even coloured the three little flowers with my markers so they would match, and then added the little pearls in the center. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink Mega Mixed Messages stamped in pink onto yellow cardstock, punched with a circle punch, mounted onto a circle of pink cardstock and then accented with a little pink ribbon. I also used a photo corner punch to add the pink cardstock to the corners of the card.

The inside of the card was also decorated with more patterned paper, pink 'faux' stitching and a basket image from Clear Dollar Stamps. The sentiments are from Papertrey Ink - Everyday Button Bits and Vintage Picnic Sentiments.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!
