Today my oldest daughter turns twelve. Every year when birthdays roll around, I have a hard time believing my children are as old as they are. I remember thinking this when she turned four, and now she's twelve. I am confident this is a universal problem for parents everywhere, as my dad tells me he has a hard time believing that his oldest (that's me) is in her forties! Anyway, today we celebrate our sweet girl, who has a heart of gold and that's as big as an ocean. She's just an amazing kid and I hope it's the happiest of birthdays for her. (And please don't remind me that on her next birthday she'll be a teenager!)
I needed a purple card for my purple girl, and I thought she'd appreciate one that's a little different. I made a simple shadow box card for her, and the only embellishment is the Strawberry Slush ribbon and the Dazzling Details I dabbed on top of the candles. Unfortunately, it doesn't show up well in the picture, but it gives just a bit of sparkle. I also cut out the cake and greeting with my Ovals Framelits, then mounted them in the center with Stampin' Dimensionals. It's a little different, and adds some extra dimension to this card. For directions on how to make a shadow box card, check out this one...I even used the same color scheme!
