One of my bosses at work asked me to make a birthday card for her sister-in-law, and she specifically asked for the "red hat" theme. I couldn't really find any red/purple DP, so I just decided to use CS and run it through the Cuttlebug...I thought the paisley pattern was perfect! I felt the "50" needed to be on the front of the card to make it birthday worthy, so once I figured out how to incorportate it, the card went pretty quickly. I used some Quic Kutz dies, stamped the sentiment on vellum and added some red bling to hide the glue. I also added bling to the main panel and glittered up the bow on her hat and her jewelry. I think this Bugaboo stamp is just so funny...love her stubbly legs (maybe because they remind me of my own! LOL). I like how it all came together...I am crossing my fingers she will like it too! Thanks for looking!
