Queen for the Day!

I made this card for another friend's birthday. I am proud to say that this one reached it's recipient on time too. (That's 2 if your keeping track.) I didn't mess up her birthday in my calendar, but she did have a party so I knew exactly when I needed it. :) (If you don't know what I am babbling on about, check my post from yesterday.)










I really enjoyed making this. First of all, I finally took the time to make a card just for fun, not for a DT. I have been wanting to use Princess Jennifer Latte from The Stamping Boutique and decided this was the perfect reason. She reminds me of my friend, and I don't mean that in a princess-y way, but in a stylish, mocha-sipping (or latte-sipping) way. I also wanted to make another joy fold card because I had fun making the first one.

.

I liberated some felt from my DD's bin of crafting goodies and created the rose out of it. I sprayed it with various shimmer mists until it was a more suitable color (meaning not the Peptobismo pink it originally was). I finished the inside with a sentiment from Create with TLC that says "I Declare You Queen for the Day".


That's all I have for today. Thank you for stopping by!



Supplies:
  • Stamps: Princess Jennifer Latte Happy Birthday To Me by The Stamping Boutique, Queen for a Day (inside sentiment)(freebie) by TLc Creations
  • Papers & CS: PaperTrey Dark Chocolate CS, Neenah Crest solar white CS, My Mind's Eye Pretty Please Spring Papers
  • Tools: Copic Markers, Martha Stewart leaf punch, Stampin' Up edge punch, Big Shot, Spellbinders nestabilities, Creative Memories circle punch
  • Embellishments: Misc. pink felt & rhinestones, Sakura stardust gelly roll pen

For my project, I paper pieced Hearty Hippo which is one of the new releases available today on Whimsy Stamps. Since the new Meljen's Designs challenge is Fun Folds, my card is a joy fold card. You can find directions for a joy fold card HERE. I changed the measurements to make a 5x5 inch card.
