Birthday card and combined challenge card

Hello everyone,






Today I quickly made a card for one of my youngest class mates. She is having her



birthday party tomorrow and we received the invite earlier this week. Although she will only be 6 on her birthday, I think she will probably like the image I have chosen. The background papers I'm not really sure about, probably more suitable for someone a little bit older.



I have used a garden fairy decoupage image layered onto 3 different Funky Fairies papers. 2 from the swirly range, pink and brown and one from the birds range, a turquoise one. The papers have been die cut using scalloped edged rectangle nestibilities and classic oval nestibilities in my Big Shot.




I therefore believe this cards fits in with several challenges.

1. Allsorts Challenge blog , the challenge there is 'Curly Swirly' and I feel it is fit for purpose with the swirls papers.

2. Charisma Cardz Thursday Challenge where the challenge is a colour combo pink/brown. I feel it fits the bill there as well.

3. Cute Card Thursday, the challenge is to 'A Nip and a Punch'. You need to use your punches or die cuts, I made some diecut pieces of paper to mount the image on, so feel it fits this challenge as well.

4. Shapes and More where the challenge is to use scrolls/swirls in your card, fits again.

5. Creative Card Crew Challenge, where the brief is child's play, a kid's card.

6. And last, but not least I'm also entering it in Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge, where the challenge is Pink, Turquoise and a hint of brown, and this card fits the bill there as well.

Hope you all like the card and of course especially the birthday girl. All comments are very welcome and very much appreciated. Thank you for looking.

Love,

Jo.
