Special Birthday Wishes

Happy Friday everyone, I am here with a special birthday card. A very good friend asked me to make a card for her 10 year old daughter. Her description to me was, she is a very girly girl. She loves pink and flowers and ribbons and bling. Well I think I gave her that and more. I took the card to my friend today and she loved it. The only thing that I could tell her was do not leave it in the car. I said this because it was almost 90 degrees today. And my car was like a furnace. So every time I got out of the car, I stuck the card in my purse and took it inside every place that I had to go. Anyway I hope she likes it. Do you know what the best thing about this card was. Well, yeah my friend was happy. But, the best thing was, that before I could get out of the parking lot of the place where I had met her. She called me on the phone to ask if I had a business card. She showed the card to some one in the beauty salon where she was getting her hair done and they wanted me to make them a card. She is giving them my number. Wish me luck.

Any way lets move on to my card. Of course, it is to be entered into some challenges. And the first is a sketch at Creative Card Crew.

Well, what do you think. I love it. But a little about the card. As you can see I used Tilda opening a present. The place to buy Magnolia stamps is the fabulous Magnolia-licious Online Store Diana is wonderful and you will get great customer service. Stop by and check out what she has to offer. I received this as a gift and it did not have a name on the package. So, if you know exactly what she is called I would love to have that information. I used my copics to color her. I used some of my new techniques to do the skin tone. I like the way it turned out. The copics used were E00, E000, E11, other colors used were E53, E51, RV14, RV02, R02, R11, R81 and my spica glitter pens pink and sand. The cake was done with the same colors of pink and the strawberrys were gone over with the garnet spica pen. The card base is bazzill and the pink polka dot paper is from my stash. The flowers are Prima roses, I cut the leaves with a Martha Stewart punch.  I embossed the circle with the happy birthday folder from Cuttlebug. The ribbons are from my stash. The tag is from my scrapbook stash. The bling, well you get the idea. The stamps used for the sentiment comes from a set that I bought on clearance at Michaels. There were 8 different birthday stamps for $6.99 down from $15.99. The butterflies were punched with a small punch that I paid a dollar for.
