Teenage Dreams

A bit of a change for me as no stamping and colouring involved! This morning, my Mother rung and asked for a card for a young lady neighbour who’s turning thirteen this weekend. Fortunately, I had the most perfect Hunkydory card kit for the occasion.


Card Recipe:

Paper & Card: HunkyDory, Stardream
Tools: Spellbinders, BigShot, Quickutz

Embellishments: Hand-made beaded Hat Pins, crystals, mulberry gardenia & cherry blossoms, butterfly charm

However, I couldn’t stop myself from a bit of titivation! I used Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Accents to cut the corners and border. With the border, before removing it from the die after cutting, I pierced holes along the edge, and I’m very pleased with the effect it has created. I love the butterfly charm (an Ebay buy), which comes with spaces to add the crystals so that you can coordinate the colours to suit your project.



I think this is perfect for a new teenager – I hope you agree!
