I made both of these a little while ago, with specific recipients in mind. The first one went to my niece who’s turning 6 shortly. She’s a girly girl and I knew she would love the abundance of patterns, and frills and all those lovely bits & bobs. So I went old style…

The girl is a Gorjuss Foxy, which I coloured with Copics, cut with Nestabilities Grand Ovals and sponged around with Old Paper Distress Ink. Grand Decorative Ovals One were used to frame the image and A2 Fancy Weave to go mat the MME Collectable patterned paper around the card.
I also embossed a strip of green cardstock with Imperial M-Bossabilities. Lots of the rarely used any more Spellbinders products here. I keep lots of my favourites for those special occasions when I want to do layers and whatnot. Perfect for the fussy (or small) recipients too

I added a stamped number ‘6’ to the girl’s dress and spelled the name of the girl with Thickers.

A decorated inside, with the sentiment from Hero Arts Be Happy Today set, and the fox from the same Gorjuss set that the girl comes in.

Here are the Copics I used for colouring:
dress: YG11/13/17
girl fox dress-up: Y15/21/26, YR24
ground: E84/81
hair: E07/53/59
skin: E00/02/04/93
+ warm greys for the shadows

Here’s another card which I made for a friend who had a baby. Simpler in design, it features my favourite Mimi from Penny Black: Sweet Dreams. Squeal-able stuff!

I decorated the card with a paper from Basic Grey Fresh Cut pad, which I die cut with MFT Bracket Edge Duo. The sentiment is from PTI Mega Mixed Messages, I inked it separately to get the words in a row rather than one under another. I finished the card with Studio Calico wood veneer Stars, Lawn Fawn Trimmings twine and as you can see, I did some sewing too.
The little flower that I decorated Mimi’s hat with, is a leftover from some die cutting session. I’m saving most of my die cuts, they come in handy more often than I care to admit

Copics used:
pajamas: B02/00/0000
rabbit: E01/84/89, R00
skin: E00/02/93, R83
blanket: R00/01/02/05 + colourless blender
hair: E31/33
N0 for the shadows

I’ll see you again soon, for a series of posts featuring some seriously yummy, brand new WPlus9 release, and a few regular posts in between!
