It's Friday - and time for Unity Friends with Flair - but more importantly for me...it is my oldest daughter's 9th birthday!!! I can't believe my sweet Katie is growing up SOOO fast! I had to make her a super special card for the occasion using a picture of her right after she was born:
Here she is now - looking so much more grown up!!!
I had been wanting to use the polaroid stamp frame from the May Unity KOTM, and while I was pondering what to make for her card, I realized that it would be perfect to frame a baby picture!
I stamped the image, added the sentiment, colored it with Copic markers, and trimmed off the excess. Distressed the edges with my Tim Holtz distress tool and attached the picture behind so it framed it perfectly!
All the pattern papers are from Basic Grey's What's Up 6x6 paper pad. I also distressed and inked the edges of each of those.
Added some eyelet trim from October Afternoon's Farmhouse collection, and a pretty bow made out of crinkle ribbon.
Added the Happy Birthday Sentiment from the small sentiment set {...party all day...} - and added a couple of stick on pearls.
Finished off by attaching the photo with foam adhesive, and adhering the entire panel to my card base. This card is super large - 6x6!
I can't wait to see her open it when she wakes up this morning! Happy Birthday my Katie - and hope you all have a wonderful Friday and weekend!
Heather, what a wonderful post today! Happy Birthday to your adorable daughter! The card is stunning! What a special way to remember her Birth-Day!
