Happy Birthday, Princess!

Stamps: Stampavie 'Lily From the Heart', Papertrey 'Birthday Basics'. Cardstock: Basic Grey 'Bittersweet', Purely Pomegranate, Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip. Ink: Memento, copics. Accessories: Circle Nestabilities, 'Bittersweet' brads, white/silver organdy ribbon, Stardust glitter pen, silver gel pen, gemstones.

'Tis the season to celebrate birthdays -- we have six coming up this month (that I can remember!) among friends and family. This is the card I made for our middle daughter who is celebrating her 11th birthday today.

Kara is truly our princess, although she rules with a gentle touch. She has had major health issues her whole life that have put her through more pain than I can even imagine, but she still has a smile for everyone. Here's a photo of her in full princess costume from last year's Halloween:



Since the birthday has a princess theme, I made a little princess hat to match Lily's paper-pieced dress. I've been having fun outfitting my images with a special hat since I was inspired by the Saturday Spotlight on Hidden Potential #9 challenge: Hats On!

The layout is inspired by Card Patterns Sketch#42.

Happy Birthday to our little princess and all the other December babies out there!!
