Girl with Pigtails Punch Art

My grand-daughter Quinn’s second birthday was yesterday and I made a special little card for her based on a couple ideas I saw on Pinterest!  Here’s the birthday girl!  She is just SO precious!

 

 

And here is the card I made!  Her mom likes to have her hair up in pigtails a lot!

 

 

Here are the details:

• The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Pink Pirouette, folded in half.
• On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 piece of Watermelon Wonder cardstock, embossed with the Confetti Embossing Folder.
• Her face is the larger Layering Circle cut from some retired Blush Blossom cardstock.
• Her hair is the same size Layering Circle with Soft Suede cardstock, cut almost in half, them trimmed for some “bangs” and adhered to the top of the face circle.
• The pigtails were 1/2 x 3″ strips of Soft Suede cardstock, cut in small strips (leave about 1/2″ uncut to adhere behind her head).  Curl with bone folder.
• Add two small flowers punched from In Colors Pattern DSP in the Watermelon Wonder color.
• Cut a smaller Layering circle from Blush Blossom for her “arms”, then I used the retired 2-3/8″ Circle Circle to cut her polka dot dress, trimming away the sides on an angle.  (I didn’t even think about the scalloped Layering Circles until I was already finished…but those would work…use the about the size of the head!)
• Adhere dress and head to the base of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Cut two Black Eyes and 2 small white highlights with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch and nose with Blush Blossom, add to face.
• Sponge Blushing Bride Ink for cheeks with Sponge Dauber.
• Hand draw mouth with Basic Black Marker.
• Add Pearls to hair bows and top of dress.
• Stamp Happy Birthday from Confetti Celebrations with Memento Black Ink, punch with the Classic Label punch.  Add to front of card.
• Cut the 2 from retired File Tabs Framelits from Silver Glimmer Paper and adhere to card.

 

I think this turned out SUPER cute and love how easy it was to personalize with her hair color and birthday!
