Cora's 12th Birthday Card

 I made a cute card for my dear friend's grand daughter for her 12th birthday.

Unbeknownst to me, she LOVES gnomes!

How about that for luck?!

Her favorite color is red.

This collection is so adorable!

I used shiny embroidery thread for the balloon strings.

Poking a hole with a die pick into the gnomes fist

made a perfect way for him to 'hold' the strings!

They are simply taped on the backside to hold in place.

I used a number of embossed die cuts to decorate with.

And I really love my new Happy Birthday word with shadow die!

Here is the inside of the card.

Thanks for coming by!

Have a nice & blessed evening,

Lisa >^..^<
