Good Morning everyone
This week my middle niece Alice is 9 so these are the 2 cards ive made for her. The first one actually uses the same image i used for her dads card last year - now they are collecting horses and of course there is always a cat or 4 around - its a digi stamp from hetty clare called friends forever
Alices favourite colours are purple & green
approx 7x7" card made from white card with nesting dies. I printed the image onto white along with the sentiment and coloured with inktense pencils, stencilled horse shoes around with and die cut into shape and adhered to the card front. I die cut a frame from dark green card and added to the card front with 2mm foam tape
I bought this stamperia stencil with horse & horseshoes - but its so very thin and delicate it was very difficult to use
Just a close up
Now the better weather has arrived the girls love going out on a horse and cart ride with their dad and spend many happy hours seeing the countryside that way.
Items Used
Hettyclare digi image 'forever friends'
Stamperia stencil 'KSG468'
Derwent inktense pencils
nesting dies
Distress oxide inks vintage photo, black soot, fossilised amber

and card 2
Alice is a talented gymnast and a little contortionist so i borrowed these gymnast dies from a craft friend
A5 white cardbase.
I die cut the gymnasts from green glitter cardstock and 4 layers of scrap white cardstock which I layered together with the green glitter as the top layer - this gave them a sturdy chipboard depth. I die cut the letters from purple mirri card and white card and used the white as a drop shadow to help them stand out.
I matted a lilac happy birthday printed cardstock onto purple mirri and then green glitter cardstock and then the card front. The gymnasts were a bit lost against the background so i tore a piece of vellum adhered my letters and gymnasts to it - i then added tacky pva to the back of the vellum behind the letters and gymnasts and adhered to the card front - that hid the glue holding the vellum in place.
Just a close up - in real life the purple mirri and green glitter really do sparkle and shine
Items Used:
Memory box alpha dies
gymnast dies
Anna-marie design birthday printed cardstock
papermania white vellum
Green glitter card
Hunkydory purple mirri card
