Girlie or What?

Hello, and welcome!

I'm really struggling to get my mojo back, and that is really bad news because I've got a mound of birthday cards to make, and even more Christmas cards......sigh........

I've usually got my DT card all uploaded, and waiting to be published, but still haven't done it....oops.

This isn't like me, at all......I'm usually frothin' at the mouth to get into my crafty space, at every opporunity, but I've been finding all sorts of excuses not to step in there.........

And yet I want to.........can't figure myself out..........

Oh well.....gave this card a go........it's for my grandaughter, Taylor's, eighth birthday, in November....she'll also be baptised, so there's another card to make....sheesh!

Taylor loves cupcakes.....in fact, Taylor loves ALL sorts of cake...and her birthday party will have a cupcake theme......hence the theme of the card.........haaaaaa!

I used the lovely stamp from Lili of the Valley, and coloured up with Promarkers.......the background paper is from Papermania (I think), stuck onto some pink pearlised paper, and layers of a doily and brown cardstock.........the sentiment is from Craftwork Cards........

Of course, I couldn't do something girlie without a little sparkle, so out came the ol'  sparkly Mod Podge, and decorated up the frills on the pretty dress, and on the hat....those yummy cupcakes were daubed with Glossy Accents.....don't think it would help the flavour though....haaaaa......

Did a little sewing on the background layer, and on the cupcake circle.....the cupcake was cut from some leftover background paper, and blinged up with MP again...........

Found the pretty "leaves" in my stash.....love the bronze colour...........they are soft metal.......

And I recently treated myself to this Doohickey (sp?) swirl die, and cut it from lilac textured card............

Finished off with a piece of brown grosgrain ribbon, topped with some Anita's glittery pink ribbon..............and forgot to mention that the layers were distressed with old scissors.........they cried all night, they were so distressed....haaaaa........and YES....I KNOW I've used that one before.....the oldies are the best....haaaa!

Hope you like, and thanks for stopping by...........
