A BIRTHDAY CARD FOR A TEEN....


Hi  Friends,
Today I am posting a card which I made at the request of my friend's daughter who wanted to give it to her Friend for her 17th birthday,she had a few Specification's  for it  and asked Me to make a card in Shades of Blue with the words "Smart 17 ''written on it .So here is what I created, have a look First:
  And now Showing you some close up of the Flower's and the Dress Form:
                                         
        And now for the Flower's:
   Now a little bit about my card ,when I started to make this Card I was stuck for Idea's  and kept  trying out various things until I came upon this Card by Vicky from the Blog clips and cuts  and then I had a starting point for my card, That is the Dress form and I hand drew the Silhoutte shape  and Cut it and Distressed the edges with Memento Ink (Rich Cocoa)and made the Skirt with a 1 inch Satin ribbon in white and placed a dotted ribbon and  a strip of Glitter  on the skirt . I made the string  around the neck with Pie Lane Glitter Balls and for the top I  cut a piece of Blue (DCWV)CS and stuck it to the Silhoutte shape,I used the Itsy Bitsy Alphabets to form the Word "smart" and the 17 is from Glittered number stickers from Itsy Bitsy and  placed on punched out heart  I decorated the alphabet tiles with some punched flowers and also framed the dress form with some Itsy Bitsy flowers in shades of blue and light yellow The Flourishes are from Pie Lane,the DP is from K&C Company and the edges are punched using Fiskar's 3 in 1 corner punches the base CS is from Hobby Ideas.  
                        That's about it from me.  If you have any questions or doubts do let me know and will try to help you out.Please do drop in a line to let me know if you liked my card. Have a Nice Day Everyone:)
