In the last six years, my husband's side of the family has welcomed eight babies into the clan. Of those eight only two of the babies are girls, so I was happy to have the opportunity to make a baby girl card. I chose a Hello Kitty theme because I have always been a fan of hers and I recently heard that she's celebrating an important birthday. It was fun to look into my drawer of HK crafting supplies and dust off the dies that I purchased from HM BFC a long time ago. With this Hello Kitty fairy die I was able to quickly assemble the card using a single sheet of K and Company Itsy Bitsy Baby Girl paper. (The back side coordinated with the front.) I tried to use plain white paper for Kitty, but it didn't show up well so I switched to a pearlized white DCWV paper from a 6x6 pad. In the photo the white paper still doesn't stand out but at different angles it does shimmer and sparkle. I didn't want to make Kitty's whiskers black because that made them too obvious so I just colored them in with grey ink. Finally, for the fairy wand I decided that a frosted sticker heart would be perfect for a topper. It was a very easy, quick card to make for the newest addition to out family. I hope she likes it..... especially since her initials just happen to be HK!
