Mummy's Birthday Card

I was lucky enough to be one of the winners of the lovely Holley's blog candy event last month to celebrate her five years of being seizure free. I won some Sherri Baldy digis and one of the images I chose was perfect for a card for my young granddaughter, Harlow, to give to her Mummy on her birthday.
This is card I made.

I started by matting and layering card in black, red and finally white. I then chose a polka dot paper from Papermania's Capsule collection Spots and Stripes. I wrapped black lace around all the layers and fixed them to an 8"x 8" scalloped card blank. 

I coloured the image with a mix of Copics and Promarkers and matted and layered it onto red and then black card. I created the sentiment on the computer and hand cut the heart layers. I finished the card with a polka dot bow and some punched hearts.

For a little insight into my daughter's birthday celebrations, this is the delightful Harlow showing Mummy her 'handwritten' birthday message,

and enjoying a birthday cupcake as her reward.
