This weekend my neighbor Aliza turned 5 years old! It has been a very exciting week leading up to the big day. It was announced every day to me in the backyard over the fence so I wouldn’t forget. She was going to the beach for the weekend to celebrate. I know she, her parents, and her big brother Trace had a wonderful time. In honor of her birthday I created this simple, but fun, card in her favorite color…PINK!
I used a sketch from Operation Write Home as a foundation but did a little free-lancing. I used some pink plaid, and why wouldn’t you for a 5 year old girl’s birthday card, and some cool enamel dots in, you guessed it, pink!
The angle in this photo highlights the dimension I achieved using one of the Wrapped in Texture embossing folders as well as shows off the coloring I did using Stampin’ Blends. Don’t forget the fussy-cutting on did on the Happy Birthday sentiment. Only the best for Aliza!
I also used my Melon Mambo Stampin’ Blend (light) to color the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Ribbon pink to coordinate with the card. And I always insist on a coordinating envelope. Here I used some of the excess designer paper and added it to the flap of the envelope. Don’t tell Aliza, but I’m adding five-one dollar bills in the card…one for each year. I can’t wait to give it to her!
I hope you enjoyed my card today. If you are interested in any of the items I used in this project please check out the Product List below.
