I made this card for my DD she is 6 years old and just doing so well with her reading and spelling, she is getting all 100% and she is so excited so I wanted to show her we know how hard she is trying and how well she is doing, and it could take her anyware in life!
Her Possibilities are Endless!!!!
So I used my Pink Cat Studio Sets:
Dress Up Lilly
Dress Up Billy
and Lily and Billy Accessories to make this Card
It was super fun, I love how it turned out, but I do not think I have ever worked this long on a Card Before! I know I have never done this much Cutting on a card, (or scrap book page) for this matter! I know she will adore it and that is all that matters. She is so tender hearted and affection and praise mean more to her than some children!
I did the Stages of Life to show her where her hard work can take her.
1. Little girl in her jammies
2. Sweet little girl playing Dress Up
3. Going of to School for the first time
3. Really into Art, Stamping (wonder why??), and Painting
4. Graduation some day (boo, hoo!)
5. Career Paths she could choose.
I am an RN, but really do not work much out side of the home, so the nurse was appropriate for her too. The Astronaut just shows the world is at her finger tips!
I put more details of what stamps I used, and how I created some of this by only partially inking some stamps.
This card just used a lot of coloring, cutting, cutting, cutting, and gluing plus layout choises.
I used Paper piercing on a few layers, paper tearing, and outlined the paper piercing with White, and Silver Gel Pens.
I hope you like it I have more cropped and detailed photos on my blog and lots of other tutorials, Challenge Cards, Demo Items, and 3-D items you can see!

Will you just look at this one... OMgosh, this is so fabulous for several reasons! Let me just highlight reason #1 - you've found a perfectly wonderful way to highlight such monumental success with each step Piper has taken thus far. #2, perfect card to highlight just how far those 100% grades can take her. Seems like you're right there behind her coaching and praising her all the way! Way to go girls, that's you mom and you Piper!
