Happy 11th Birthday


Another Pinterest-inspired birthday card, this time for my daughter who is turning 11 in a couple of weeks.


I used a PTI die, cut in black and coated in Crystal Effects. The 11 is made up of two lower-case l's from a Memory Box Alphabet set. Each 1 is 4 layers thick - 3 white and one hot-pink mirror. I used a copic marker to colour the edges of the ones so that they wouldn't be white.
