A very cheeky summery birthday!

=) Just finished this card, and I thought I would pop onto the computer to share. I absolutely adore pink & brown, so I thought I would make a summery birthday card. I quite like how it turned out! Unfortunately, the camera makes the pink look a bit dark, so it looks like purple but I promise it is a very hot pink!

I created the pink circular embellishment type thing with three strips of paper punched on one edge with the Cherish punch by Martha Stewart. I glued the three strips together and then accordion folded the whole length. Then you twist it into a circle and press down in the middle, and voila you have a gigantic circle embellishment thingy. I like these pleated circles, because they add huge dimension to your card. I attempted to show that in the pictures.

I actually really liked how the coloring came out on her ^^ I just love Copic coloring. It's so much fun! I'm quite partial to the anime style of coloring hair, so this is my attempt at it.  I just love how her little feet are dangling in the air, too. The photos have kind of distorted her hair color to look like a kind of blonde. The hair is actually a dark brown. The 3rd photo shows the closest I could get them to come out.
