Super Happy Birthday



Carina turns five on Thursday.  Crazy how quickly that happened!

I needed to create a birthday card for her, and I didn't even need to think twice about which set to use.

Carina loves superheros, so I just had to ink up this Super Girl for her.

I added a couple of star die cuts behind her.  The blue star is actually a random oops.  I had a different design for the card originally and had cut that star as a mask.  It's covered with some inking and watercolor as a result, but I kind of love the way it ended up looking, so I incorporated it into the final design.



The girl was colored with Copics and then cut out (there's a set of dies that I haven't gotten around to ordering yet, so I do 'faux die cutting' by leaving that little white border).

That's all for me today.  Hope you had a great weekend!
