Hi crafty friends,

Girly 1st Birthday card (LOTV image)

Hi crafty friends,

My friend's sweet granddaughter just turned 1 year old so I asked her if she'd like me to make a card for her to give. I made an extra large card and played around with adding the little bears (from Lili of the Valley) and the balloon sentiment. I then created the background including the tree which I'm a bit proud of as I've never drawn a tree like this before. I accidentally got a couple of Copic marker dots on the background so I decided to add more and make it confetti, turned out ok and I don't think they'd realise it was a mistake now hehe.
