6 year old card

Hi Everyone, I hope you are all well. My post today is a card for my Nieces Granddaughter. She was 6 last week. The card was another that wasn't received, so I thought. Then I had a photo of Dorothy and her card, which was a lovely thing to do by her Mum. I don't know what is happening with the post, it was always so reliable to get there in just a day or two.

Anyhow, I used a digital image and decided to add a floral dress for her to wear, the image and the dress reminded me of so much of little Dorothy. As I was in Photoshop to add the dress paper, I decided to colour her and add a background. I made the background with a designer paper and added the text and 6, with a digital garden stamp, which I also coloured digitally.  I haven't done PS colouring for so long, it was a nice change. 

Next, I took her into Silhouette and print and cut 3 images and layered them together. I also cut the 6.  I added the background to a matching shade of card, then the image and number were added. The insert was based on the front, adding the same images, the verse I found at Craftsuprint.

  I added 3D glaze to the 6, balloon, the heart, and candle flame on the cake, her eyes, and her shoes. Hopefully you can see here.

Strawberries

 Hi Everyone, my card today is my idea of summer, strawberries and cream? The image is one I've had a long time, so I decided it was time to use her. I saw a sketch and decided to use it to show her off. I took the image into Silhouette to print and cut 3 images, one with a frame around her. She was then coloured using DI's. I added 3D glaze to her eyes and shoes.

 
I have had the digi paper a long time too, I printed it out and cut it to fit the card and design. The shape and the frame layer were added to red pearlised card. The sketch needed another shape, I found this basket of strawberries also in my files which I thought fitted in.
