Instructions

• I started by making a 5.25” square card base with my favorite cream colored cardstock. Next, I added a layer of brown bazzill cardstock to the front of the card.


• From my Prima Jack n Jill cardstock, I cut a 5” square from the corner with the little girl printed on it.
  
  Note – this leaves a little boy in another corner so you can make a similar card for a boy.


• Attach this to the brown layer on the front of the card.


• Each daisy was colored in with a Stardust pen to make it iridescent.
  I put light olive pearls (varying sizes) in the centers of each flower.
  
  
  


• A taupe colored silk bow was attached to the little girl’s hair.
  Also, a green Prima tiny-tot flower was added to her hands.
  
  
  


• I stamped a scrap of the cream colored cardstock with the word “giggle”.
  I punch it out with a 1” circle punch.


• On a scrap of the Jack n Jill cardstock, I punched a 1.25” circle from the REVERSE side of the paper.


• Lastly, a 1.5” scalloped circle was punched from a scrap of the brown cardstock.


• I glued the brown and flowered layers together.
  Giggle was added using a 3D foam square.
  The completed sentiment circle was attached to the card with 2 3D foam squares.
  
  
  
  TIP - Also, as I usually try to do… I added a scrap border piece of cardstock to the lower inside edge of card. This just adds that little extra something that really finishes off a card.
  

Enjoy this sweet card… and giggle a little.
