a big birthday coming up!

Good evening! Ooh, it's been a fabulous day here! Warm and sunny, the birds are singing and the garden really is springing into life! Wonderful! Went for a lovely long walk this afternoon with O/H and Mathilda. She's now comatose on the sofa (O?H will soon follow!!!:), so should be  a peaceful evening too!
Anyway, enough waffle, back to my card. This is the first time I've tried making a pop up box card, such fun!! I followed this amazing tutorial, thanks Janine! it's really clear and easy to follow!
The card is for my beautiful granddaughter, who will very soon be reaching the ripe old age of 7. (Where have the last seven years gone... seems like yesterday she was a tiny baby!)
I've used her favourite colours, purple, pink and turquoise! It has glitter. It has bling, you can't possibly have too much of either where a 7 year old girl is involved! It has a fabulous, exuberant Mo Manning image, I love this girl she's so happy and full of life, just like my Olivia! The cake is a Ladybugs Crafts Ink image , you can see it here. I've cropped it to just use the cake part, the beauty of a digi! The Happy Birthday die cut is made using a freebie from a magazine.

 

Thanks for looking
Hope you have a lovely evening.
Chris
