Sweet Sixteen!

Here is my little sister's card that I made her for her 16th birthday! There are quite a few pics so I shall write a bit in between to break it up a little! Lol! It started off as a star card but then I made a big boo boo-I taped the spine together! D'oh! So it became a bit of a mini book! Lol!

I went for a pink and purple theme as some of the presents I had bought her were in the same colour scheme! Lol! I stuck 6 A6 cards together and strengthened them by using silver mirri board for a background! I used the Boys and Girls Crafters Companions CD for the background papers and for the small letters and numbers.

I stamped a few Maggies and Tildas and coloured them in with distress inks. These were images I knew my little sister liked and I can understand why! They are so cute!

I printed some big letters onto pearlescent paper and did a bit of faux stitching around each letter to make them stand out a little!

The card came out ok-not completely happy with it but I ran out of time! Looks a bit bare in places! Lindsay seemed to like it though which is all that matters I suppose!

Think I will use this type of mini book again though-might be nice to create a mini scrapbook or photocards!

Had to have a flower somewhere-here it is! Lol!

This is what it looked like standing up! Not quite a star card but near enough!

Thanks for looking! Hope you liked it-I really enjoyed making it! Not so 'little' sister I suppose now!
