I have made a Birthday card for my Mum who is celebrating her Birthday today.
Today is also Gina's Birthday. Happy Birthday Gina!

I used Okay Tilda from Magnolia Lovely Emojis 2017 Collection.
The Image is stamped with Memento rich cocoa Ink onto Bristol board extra smooth cardstock.
 I have coloured the image with Prismacolor & Polychromos pencils, and fussy cut around the Image.


For the shape of my card I used GoKreate large frame frilly #2 and Maja Design 'Sofiero' and 'Shades of Sofiero' 6 x 6 paper stacks.
Other dies used; Cheery Lynn English tea party doily, French pastry doily and Sofia's heart doily. Creative expressions lattice arched adornment. Magnolia Doohickey bloomy tag, Spellbinders lattice hearts, Dovecraft happy Birthday sentiment, Joy Crafts filmstrip and Prima forest leaves.

I die cut a CartUs oval and stamped around the edges of it with an IndigoBlu stamp set and sprinkled inside the oval with shabby white embossing enamel.
I matted the oval onto a Joy Crafts Noor! oval with 2mm 3D tape and adhered Tilda to the centre using 2mm 3D tape.
I adhered a length of 3mm x 5mm Ivory oval bead string around the outside of the oval, and dotted Tilda's cheeks with a white gelly roll pen.


Inside the card is decorated with papers and a GoKreate large frame frilly #2 die cut.
