Have a Happy Day

Hi folks,

I had a busy day in my craft room getting cards made for some upcoming birthdays. I'll be sharing them over the course of the next few days.

This is a card for my niece who has a birthday coming in October. She will be twelve this year so I struggled a little with what to do for her card. I didn't want it too be cutesy and I didn't want it to be too grown up. I think it came out just how I wanted.

card details:

• finished size: 5 x 5 inches, white card stock base, black card stock mats
• patterned paper: CTMH Charlotte (retired)
• stamped image and sentiment: CTMH "True Love" D1711 - the current Operation Smile stamp set. You can read more about Operation Smile here.
• embellishmets: CTMH Black Shimmer Trim, 3D Hearts
• layout: Mojo Monday 466

As always, thanks for stopping by!
