Happy Birthday Rylee! Llama Party!

Hello friends!  Today I want to share a little card I made for a very special young lady in my life.  My niece Rylee is 12 years old today.  She's been making cards and crafting with me since she was 4 years old.  She knows the ins and outs of cardmaking and there is no one in the world who appreciates my cards as much as she does.  She ooohs and aaahs over them, then I can see her wheels turning.  "How did you do that Aunt Lisa?"   "Did you get some new stamps?"  "Is that a new Catherine Pooler color?"

For this reason, I am under a lot of pressure every year to produce a card that will knock her socks off!  She expects a lot from me and I think would be very disappointed if I didn't produce.  LOL!  So here goes.  If ever there were a birthday card that would win a "Most Products Used" contest, it would be this one!

Happy Birthday Rylee!

Stamps: Llama (Hero Arts), Bring on the Cake (Sugar Pea Designs), Birthday Balloon (Sunny Studio), Vintage Frames (The Ton), Holiday Charm (Catherine Pooler Designs).    

Dies:  Llama (Hero Arts), Birthday Balloon (Sunny Studio),  Holiday Charm (Catherine Pooler Designs), Wood Floors (Penny Black), Balloon dies (Lil' Inker Designs),  Little Numbers (My Favorite Things).

 Ink:  Lime Rickey, Party Dress, Sweet Sixteen, Tiara, It's a Girl, Midnight (Catherine Pooler Designs), Copic Markers.  

Paper:  Premium White Cardstock (Catheirne Pooler Designs), Natural cardstock (My Favorite Things).

Accessories:  dimensional tape, clear sequins, diamond Stickles, white Gellyroll pen, Glossy Accents (Ranger).

Keeping the background neutral on this card allowed me to load it up with all the little party details without it looking cluttered.  Using Catherine Pooler Design's Party Collection  inks helped me to make the tone of this card bright and fun without worrying about clashing colors. 

Adding subtle, little details like the age on the balloon, and sparkle around the frame finished off this card nicely.

OK, it's time to go hang out with my little Drama Llama and get this party started!!

Have a great day and happy stamping!
