Sitting Pretty Birthday Card

Good afternoon bloggers!

It's another wet and windy day here Inverness or 'dreich' as we say up here!!!  I haven't been around blogger much for the last few days as we have been out and about.  On Friday we had a lovely day out at the Highland Wildlife Park and Aviemore then my daughter was invited to a birthday sleepover in a caravan on Saturday night at Grannie's Hielan Hame caravan park in Embo on the North East Sutherland Coast.  We drove her up on Saturday and went back for her yesterday and she had the best time ever!  My Aunt was really taken with the caravan park and it's facilities too and as some of the caravans have been adapted to be suitable for wheelchairs we are planning on spending a week up there next Spring or Summer if we can work around the school holidays/availability!

Anyway, enough waffle from me...  On to my card...  Today's card is one I made for the sleepover birthday girl who's birthday is today!  If you remember back a few posts I had already started making a Gorjuss card to be organised but had to quickly make it into a 21st card for my husband's colleague!  I actually think in hindsight this card is more suitable for a ten year old!

The Gorjuss stamp is called Sitting Pretty and it has been coloured with Promarkers then fussy cut.  I've used papers from the Gorjuss Ultimate Die Cut Pack, some of which have faux stitching added using a pokey tool and a Lettraset fine liner pen.  I've added a punched border to the purple stripe paper using my Fiskars Threading Water punch.  I've used circle and scalloped circle dies by X-cut, Spellbinders Lacey Circle die and Memory Box Precious Stars die.  The sentiment is by LOTV stamped onto patterned paper.  My card is finished off with buttons from the Gorjuss collection, gems and spotty ribbon.

Thank you for looking,
Shona xx
