It's my friends' DD 1st Birthday this weekend and I wanted to make her a cute girly card. I decided to try out a tent card - it was a lot easier than I thought it would be, so I'd guess that I will be making a few more of these.
I made the card using this tutorial. Tilda has been coloured with Promarkers and I've used Glossy Accents on her shoes and 3D glitter glue on her tiara and the lace trim on her dress. The gloves and petticoat were coloured with a white gel pen. The flowers were handmade and have been coloured with Promarkers. The hatpins were made using my new pins from China and a selection of beads taken from necklaces and bracelets picked up in the Primark sale.
Unfortunately, the pearlescent pink card wasn't double sided. As I wanted to decorate the back of the card and the inside was also going to be on show, I had to use a double layer of card. Hopefully it doesn't look too bulky.

Bookatrix Butterfly & Blooms Birthday Card
Finally my missing mojo has returned. Not sure where or why my mojo went, but it totally disappeared! I sat and stared at card blanks, stamps and pretty papers for two hours and created nothing but frustration. So I took some time out, went to visit a fellow crafter and bingo it's returned and hopefully will be here to stay (it needs to, as I have loads of cards to make this week for birthdays).
This is the card I've made for my SIL's Birthday. It took a little time as I've stamped, heat embossed and painted the butterflies with pearlescent paints. The flowers are handmade and I've also handcut the vines. Due to a lack of planning, I had to make the stand for the Bookatrix. Fingers crossed that she likes it!
