I really love the "Curtsy" little girl stamp - vintage, a little bit grungy, and not at all cutesy. I thought she would make the perfect "Birthday Girl" image with the addition of a fun little party hat.

 

I've used the following IO stamps to create this card: -

 

Curtsy H13238

Fleur-de-lis Texture D13194

Dot Border D13116

Choose Happy A13116 (partially stamped)

 

Her hat was made by embossing Dot Border (one of my favourite stamps!) onto a paper scrap and free-drawing a fun hat shape. It's hard to see in the photo but her shoes and the smocking of her dress are quite sparkly...

 

Additional Supplies:

Inks Etc - Distress Inks, Ranger Archival Inks, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, coloured pencils, Memento marker, Wink of Stella pen, white gel pen, white embossing powder, gold embossing powder, wash tape.
