Something totally different...

For those of you who have been following me for a while, you know that I am trying to branch out with different styles, etc.  One thing that I don't "do" much of is cutsie cards.  BUT, that has all changed!  A little while back, I was lucky enough to win some adorable Whoopsie Dasiy digis for participating in the Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge.  It was time to put them to use!

Here's the first card I've made~

For these fabulous challenges~

Whoopsie Daisy: Make your own embellishments

(I added tons of flower embellishments

 made with punches, markers, and rhinestones.)

Celebrate the Occassion: Birthday

(This card will be going to my little sister

for her birthday later this year.)

Digital Tuesday: Inside Out

(decorate the inside of the card)

Use It Tuesday: Emboss It!

(I forgot I had this gorgeous embossing folder!)

Hero Arts: Summer adventures 

(Nothing says an old fashioned summer like

a tree swing and pretty light clothing!)

Basic Grey: Fun in the Sun
(Swinging in the summer is the best fun!)

So, what do you think?  I LOVE it!!!  I started by coloring the image with blender pens and soft inks, sponged in a sky, then I added some shimmery details to the dress and bonnet.  After that, I decided to create some branches and blossoms for the top of the tree and added the panel to my card base that was created with pink, green, and blue papers.  The blue paper was dry embossed with a Sizzix folder and the pink lace to the side is a border punch by Martha Stewart.  More flowers were added and the front of the card was done!

Then onto the inside.  I've had a Hero Arts/Basic Grey set that I bought back around Valentine's Day from their Kissing Booth line and the sentiment seemed PERFECT for a birthday card for my little sister who will be turning 12 later this year.  She LOVES girly things, so I think this card will be a winner!  After I fussy cut the sentiment out and layered it, I added it to a dry embossed strip and then added another flower with some leaves to continue the theme from the outside.  SO glad that stamp got some use!!!!

Well, that's all for now!  Thanks for stopping by--I am so glad that you did!  I hope you come and play along with these fabulous challenges so I can see YOUR creations!  Happy stamping! :)
