My niece has her first birthday coming up so I just could hardly wait to make her a pretty, girly card....How can you resist the temptation of the pinks and the ginghams! I did a little paper piecing for her dress and coloured the rest in with lyras and prisma pencil crayons...and added a little glitter to her flower!
Below is a picture of the inside of the card...I have been so inspired by so many of you finishing the insides of your cards that I had to try! Well, I am hooked for sure!
I used the following punches to make my flowers as I do not have many in my stash. I then used the sponge to dust some pink chalk on the edges of the flowers. Then added a green brad to the center.

LOVE your card with those sweet, soft, girly papers. AMAZING job on the inside, too. The layout with the girl behind the circle and DP strip looks great!!
Aww, your doggie is so cute!!
I love your card too, it's gorgeous and perfect for a little girl. It's my niece's second birthday soon, she is called Jessica too, it's so much fun making cards for little girls.

Hi Christine
A brilliant card and I love your flowers very much.
I hope you had a good Christmas and that you have a very Happy New Year.
Love Jules xx
A beautiful card Christine and I love the inside - something I'm going to try and do more this year. I'm definitely a warm weather person too. Snow is OK for a day or two but give me a holiday on a beach over one on the slopes any day! Wishing you a very Happy & Heathly New Year.
Christine, your card is precious. Love the soft colour and the clean look of the card. Not sure if your niece will appreciate the awesome job you did with the card, but I sure do.
Wishing you a Happy New Year and much happiness for the coming year. May 2010 be a creatively productive year. Thanks for all the inspirations you've given me.
Hugs.
