My daughter has yet another birthday party to attend. I made this card using an image I found in a magazine. I thought it captured the look of a teenaged girl quite well!
I used my Creative Memories Cutting System to cut the image and the two mats. 16 was cut with Ashlyn's Alphabet (with a shadow) and run through a Cuttlebug border folder. I also used my pink gel pen to colour the indented portions of the embossing. The patterned paper is from a stack of cardstock I purchased at Costco and the solids are from my cardstock stash. I also cut a 2 inch strip of pink, punched it with a border punch and then added some score lines for just a bit more detail. Three tiny gems were added to the girl's bracelet and then three larger gems to the pink border. The image and number 16 are popped.
