My gorgeous girl turned 17 today … still can’t believe she’s reached this age already and that I’m old enough to have a 17 year old!
I made a fashion and green themed card for her.

It’s certainly a little different than my usual style with these fun fashion sketches but I thought it would be suitable for my fashion and textiles loving girl!

I used the Expressions in Ink dsp and some little templates from a little booklet I’ve had for ages. Then I made it up! I added in some cotton fabric and a bit of old olive ribbon.
I was going to add sewing but in the end I decided against it.

I added the happy birthday sentiment die stacking the green twice and then the white twice with the white slightly offset so it was a little like a shadow.

I finished off with a few gems. I considered adding Mayas name in gold or the word daughter but in the end decided that it would be too much for the already busy card.
I did video making the card so if you fancy watching me make it check it out on YouTube.
Happy crafting!
