Nellie 5th Birthday Card

Another 5th birthday card - this time for my in-laws to give to my daughter.
The image is Sitting Nellie, Stamped in Whisper Black ink, and coloured with watercolour pencils and an aqua brush. Cut out and mounted onto thin foam pads so that she sits just slightly higher than the 5.
I made the numeral using Ariel Rounded font. Used the computer to enlarge, mirror it, and print out. Rough cut around, then temporarily fixed it to the back of Bazzill Bling - may be 24 Karat, but am not sure. Cut out the 5, removed the template, and then ran it through my Cuttlebug in the Floral Fantasy folder.
The pink flowery backing paper is Pebbles Inc. - Party Time Girl Stripe/Flower, and the checked one is Doodlebug - Baby Girl Plaid.

I doodled a decorative border around the edge of the pink paper with an orange Soufflé pen. The flowers are made using an X-Cut punch - Flower Head with the checked paper, and a 1/4" hole punch with the pink paper for the centres. I shaped them with my embossing tool before assembling and sticking onto the card. This card is just a little bigger than A6 (approx 4x6").

Nellie and her Flowers

I love this paper by Pebbles Inc called Nellie's Garden Flower. Steeled myself to cut into it today! I used green Bazzill to back it, and the same green plus a pink to make the Nestability rings for Nellie to sit in. She is coloured with watercolour pencils and an aqua brush. Treated myself to some better, new pencils with more colours, and finally have a decent flesh coloured one! Nellie and the rings are adhered with little foam pads for a bit of height.
I made the flower using two sizes of Woodware daisy punches, and a Woodware sun punch. It's made from the pink Bazzill and yellow areas of the patterned paper. Shaped with a ball tool. The greeting is a Pebbles Inc rub-on. Finished off with 'diamond' gems, and organza ribbon. I'm planning on doing a tutorial this week on the flower if anybody is interested.
This card is my entry for Cute Card Thursday's Challenge 9 - Gems and Jewels.
