Birthday Princess!!


Morning Peeps!!
How are you all this morning? I am off to work today so am just sat eating my tropical fruits granola and having a cuppa to wake myself up. I thought I would quickly get this little 'Its my party'  LOTV princess blogged and entered into a couple of challenges before I go!! I had a 3rd birthday card to make so she just had to be used!!!
She got some nestie treatment and then a bit of tattered pink DI around her. I mounted her onto a lacey circle nesty too.

The challenges I am playing along in are....

I coloured up my gorgeous stroppy birthday princess in these colours...
I just had to use my fabulous magnolia lace die for the lace. I had no pink lace and I knew that would be perfect. It comes out so pretty. 

Now for a little tip with those magnolia doo hickey dies!!...they can be a little tricky to pickle out so all I do is put some greaseproof paper over the die, then add my cardstock I want to cut over the top of that and then run it through my big shot. The cut piece pops out easliy then, it works great for the Tim Holtz border dies/on the edge dies too :) hope that helps someone!!

A little bit of pink twine tied into a bow,3 punched butterflies and the I had some fun with my waco pearl pen to add the pearls!! The lineny type paper is from funky Hand's craft the year away. Then I stamped an LOTV verse for the sentiment. that verse is just right for a little 3 year old.

I must admit to thinking this card is soooooo cute!! I just love her little stroppy face and those boots!!! she is so me!!! :)

Right, got to plod the dog and get my lunch ready!!
Have a fabulous day everyone and thank you for popping in on me this morning!
huge hugs Lou xxxxx
