We just returned from my great-niece's 2nd birthday party! Here's the card I made for her this afternoon. It turned out exactly like the card in my head that I'd been thinking about all day, so I'm super happy with it! I really loved mixing up the colors and patterns with this and just making it fun!
The letters spelling out her name are from the Playful Alphabet set from Kitchen Sink Stamps. The #2 is from a set of chipboard numbers from Stampin' Up! I covered it with modge podge, then applied the designer paper and applied another layer of modge podge.
I hope you like it, and hope you're having a great weekend! Happy stamping!
Stamps: Playful Alphabet (Kitchen Sink Stamps), sentiment from You Take the Cake (My Favorite Things), small alphabet letters for "is" (Hero Arts); Cardstock: Parakeeet, Berrylicious (Bazzill), Marigold Morning (Stampin' Up!), designer paper (Fancy Pants); Ink: Versafine Onyx Black, Brilliance Pearlescent Sky Blue (Tsukineko); Accessories: chipboard number, photo corner punch (Stampin' Up!), flower punch (EK Success), flower brad (Making Memories), ribbon (Creative Impressions), Nestabilities label die (Spellbinders).
Perfect card! She is bound to love it! I love your mix of patterns and that perky red bow.

I have some modpodge and some chipboard that hasn't been used in a while. I may have to get them out and use them! Thanks for the inspiration and great card!
