No Gasping or Holding Your Breath!!

 

Yes, indeed this is my 4th post this week........no gasping or holding your breath PLEASE! *grin* 

It has been such a busy summer that my blogging all but died, BUT I'm back now and hope to keep up with all the Blogland adventures.

 

Our oldest GD, Hannah, will turn 9 years old next week and this is the card I created for her.  I have quite a few of these Prima Doll stamps and enjoy paper piecing them for cards......especially for the GDs.  ( I really have them because I loved paper dolls as a kid.....*grin*)

 

The card base was colored with Gelatos, then wiped with a wet wipe to blend it.  The white die cut was used for a little texture and design.  The doll was stamped onto a flesh colored paper and the hair colored with Prisma CP.  The dress was fussy cut from a snippet of paper that was hand decorated years ago.......back when all the pretty paper wasn't readily available.  For the ruffle and bow I used a little snippet of vellum, and touched the edges with gold glitter paint, along with the shoes.  Hannah like her sparklies.......just like G-ma!  hahaha!  The sentiment is a very old one from who knows where, stamped on a die cut vellum and gold embossed.  The number 9 was cut from the last snippet of an other hand decorated paper.

 

Remember hand decorating your own background papers??  Back when it was the "thing" to do I took cardstock, and /or colored construction paper and made background papers with webbing sprays ( who remembers those?) glitter sprays and just spray paint.  It was so much fun that I had piles of them......now they have all but become a memory.

 

I want to join a couple of challenges with this card, 613 Avenue Create: #137 Anything Goes
