Girlie Birthday Card

One of my sons classmates birthday this week, card for an 11 year old girl. Decided to use the New Cricut Paper Doll Teen Scene Cartridge.

I selected the outfit first and then the hair, similar to the young girl in question. She currently likes bright coloured clothes so cut the outfit in bright pink and green.
I cut the image 4 times, in white, black, skin tone and cream card stock. The hair overlay was also cut in cream. The body size was 4.5". I cut leggings and trainers bases in white card, trainer tops , shirt and cap in pink card and the skirt was cut from green cardstock.

The 4 body parts were all layered up, cream at the base, followed by white, then black and skin tone on the top. The cream overlay hair was the last to apply. The trainer parts were glued together. The remaining parts were glued in place to the main body.

I created an embossed white backing section using Cuttlebug Happy Birthday embossing folder.
This and the pattern backing papers were all inked round the edges with green ink and matted onto green card. Faux brads from Craftwork card were added to each corner.
