12th Birthday Card


I made this card for a girl who loves purple, so I began with some Gina K Wild Lilac card stock, adding a circle of plaid dsp and some Gina K blue raspberry card stock. I used the following die cuts on this no-stamp card:

the numbers were done with SU! large number dies
The circle was done with a MFT stitched circle die
The sentiment was done with GMD birthday dies
The small and large scalloped borders were done with SNSS dies

Just for fun, I added 12 lavender gemstones to the numbers, and added a couple more to dot the "i's" in the sentiment.

I'm sharing this with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge to "add a diecut."

Also sharing with the Crafty Gals Corner challenge #197 - add 3 layers or more

Thanks for stopping by and I hope your week starts off on a good note!

    Love the impressive look of those scallop borders and the plaid circle on the purple! The gems finish the card so well and surely the girl will appreciate them :D

    The birthday girl will adore her special purple 12th birthday card, Carol, and I'll bet it stays in her keepsake box forever! I love the double scalloped edge and the pretty plaid behind the fancy number 12!! Hugs, Darnell

    That little pop of plaid brings everything together. She will adore this! P.S. the tiny gems were a nice touch.
