On a side note, I wanted to mention that if you haven’t read any of Susan Raihala’s 3 blogs I strongly urge you to.  She keeps it real, is incredibly supportive of fellow crafters, is so talented, and shares her journey raising a child with special needs.   I’ve been a fan of her cards for years, but what keeps me going back daily is the insight I get into a fellow crafter’s life.

So a few days ago I needed a girl birthday card for my niece and threw one together in short order so I could get the package mailed.  I had an extra card base done and decided to finish it up so I would have an extra card if I needed it later.  The one below is the one I made this morning and the 2nd one is the one I made a few days ago.  So I ended up with 2 different cards using the same stamp set.  They aren’t very different in style but I felt a little confined by the existing card base on the 2nd one.  I still haven’t decided which one I like better.  Do you like one better than the other?  The card details are below.

Hope you are having a great day!

I love the background paper….I’m not sure who made it since it’s from several years ago, but I picked it up from JoAnne’s.  So that determined the colors I was going to use on the princess, pink, blue, and green.  I also decided every girl needs some bling so I used glitter to edge the sides of the image cardstock and on the ends of the ribbon banner.  The banner looked a little bland without the glitter when placed up next to the image so it needed glitter too.

I think I am the slowest Copic colorer there is.  This is only the 2nd image I’ve colored so I’m happy with the results but definitely need to put things aside and look at it later to pick up the areas that need more work.

Okay, enough blabbing.  The supplies are listed below.
