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!

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
