Sweet 16!

 As crafters, we all struggle with thinking we're not "good enough" - am I right?  I know I do!  So when someone asks me to make them a special card, I'm always so honored!  My friend Linda asked me to make a card for her granddaughter's 16th birthday - I came up with the card below, which I'd like to enter into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Add a Number

Passion for Markers - Anything Floral

Die Cut Divas - Anything Goes

Creative Inspirations - Anything Goes

Seize the Birthday - No Topping


I created my background by ink blending Distress Oxide Inks in pinks all over a piece of watercolor paper, then spritzing with water and blotting with a paper towel. I die cut the deckled/stitched edge circles from the same papers, as well as the "16" numbers. I die cut the film strip from a piece of black cardstock. I printed out Rose & Thorns from Krista Smith/Saturated Canary (no longer in business), colored with Copics, and cut out in a square before attaching with foam dimensional tape.  Finished off with some pearl stickers. Peace.
