I have three nieces that are soon to be four years old.  One of them is so into princesses.  So when I seen the Princess Ellie image by The Paper Nest Dolls, I knew right away I could use it for a birthday card.  The image is printed on cryogen papers and colored with copics.  I used Spellbinders Labels 14 to cut out the image and framed it with purple glitter paper.  The card was cut out from my Silhouette with an image purchased from the Silhouette store.  The top of the crown is covered with American Crafts Micro Beads and the sides are adorned with dew drops  by The Robin's Nest.   I added a bow and another dew drop to the center.

Copics used:

Skin:  E000, E00, E21

Hair:  E50, E51, E53

Dress:  V01, V12, V15, V17

Overcoat:  R81, R85, RV10, RV32

The inside I used some more glitter paper and dew drops from The Robin's Nest.  The sentiment is by American Art Stamps and is embossed with pink embossing powder.

I have had a few days off work and I am feeling very relaxed and lucky to share and enjoy them with my hubby.  We haven't done much of anything the last few days, so it has been very nice.   I am sharing a card made with the cute little cow Moo-valous by C. C. Designs. He is stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored with copics.  I cut out the image with Spellbinders Ovals and added a Scalloped oval behind him.  I decided to do a gate fold card for this one.  Something a little different!  I have used the Simple Stories, Happy Day paper collection to add to the celebration!  I finished him off with some ribbon and some buttons like he was playing bingo!

Copics used:

Hat:  BG000, BG72, BG75, BG78

Moo-valous:  E50, E53, E55, E57, E59

So the inside, I used matching papers from the front.  But  I really messed it up and wasn't sure I wanted to share, but it happens!  Can you see where I messed things up?  The sentiment is by Fiskars.

Your next stop on the hop is Shanna!
