Holly's card

Hello there! How are you? I hope you are well and happy. I've had a busy day so far, pizza making, 5 km run, tea and coffee making and school library - now I have two friends home with the girls to keep them entertained until 7!!! I'm grabbing a few minutes before I have to cook the pizza and of course my tea!

Today I have a birthday card for my niece Holly to share with you - I hope its not too grown up - she's 10 but an old 10 if you know what I mean!


I've used a second background I made when I did the clarity calendar challenge - its so useful to have extras made for when you need a quick card.


The cards I have used are both from Indigo Blu - I will never tire of this girl - the quote is from one of the recently released weird science sets - love it!

I hope you have had a good day!

Big hugs and be round to see your blogs very soon!

Hugs

  1. I think it's a perfect card Rachel, most of the little youngsters I know are coming on a few years older than they are.

  9. Phew Rachel ... I'm exhausted just reading about your day! I managed Body Balance yesterday for the first in 3 weeks, now my ear infection has cleared up, not that I had much balance in me :o)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great card for a 10 year old; great background, super image and I love the quote too.

  19. I just love the way you say 'quick card'! Even with the background done it would take me forever - however, having seen you in action I can see that you could do this quickly - and it is fantastic, love the way you coloured the girl, she looks wonderful on that background. Yes, I know what you mean by an 'old' 10, I think she will love the fact that you don't see her as a 'young' 10! Hugs, Anne xx
