Hello Kitty Beach Birthday Card

I was so excited to use the new Hello Kitty Sizzix die cutter (the one with her lying on a beach mat) that I cut and pieced together multiple images. I didn't like the paper that I chose for the bikini on one of the images so I just colored over it with sparkle pens. Since it was an image I wasn't going to use for my projects (because it didn't match) and I needed a birthday card for my niece, it became the focal point of the card. A little punched out (MS punch) cupcake was added to the card to convey the birthday wishes. I think the background paper with the palm trees (NRN paper) helped to place Hello Kitty in a setting and the paper umbrella (from the BFC graduation section) not only added dimension but sort of symbolizes a summer of party fun. Inside the card I placed a rub-on with the words, 'It's Your Day' so that the birthday girl would relax and enjoy her birthday. In this rush-rush society sometimes we need to be reminded to slow down and inhale the goodness on our birthday and everyday of the year.
