Just Because

Another card with no Cricut, just Cuttlebug. This is a 6 1/4"x4 1/2" card. I used white cardstock for the base. I then cut some pink cardstock 1/4" smaller and ran it through the Cuttlebug, using the Polka Dots embossing folder. I cut a strip of dark brown cardstock at 6"x2 1/2" and used my white gel pen to add some faux stitching around the edge. I cut another piece of dark brown cardstock at 3"x4 1/4" and also embossed it with the Polka Dots folder. I cut a piece of white cardstock at 2 3/4"x4" and layered it on top of the embossed brown cardstock. I printed a digi stamp from Some Odd Girl and colored it with Prismacolor pencils. I then cut her out and adhered her to the white rectangle. I added some glam pink and diamond Stickles to her wand, shoes, bow and wings for some sparkle. I wrapped the card with some pink ribbon. I then used some 2"x2" Cuttlebug flower dies to cut out the pieces for the flower. I curled up the sides and used pop-dots to layer them for a 3-D effect. I added a brown gem to the middle. I stamped the sentiment on the side of the white rectangle, using jumbo java ink by Tsukineko.
