This card put me way outside my comfort zone. I had to think long and hard how to use this "In Style" cut from Graphically Speaking. I finally settled on an idea for my granddaughter's 16th birthday card. Both her brothers received handmade cards from me for their birthdays so I couldn't do less for Brytnie. I can hardly believe she will be 16. Where have all the years gone? We don't get to see these three grandkids as often as we'd like because they live about a 3 hour drive from here. We had the opportunity to visit them for the holidays. Brytnie is currently taking driver's ed. She had class the day we visited so my husband let her drive our car and accompanied her. He is a brave man. Glad our insurance was paid up. LOL Anyway, for this card my base is purple and I used Cricut's Wild Card cartridge to cut the circular card at 5 1/4". The "In Style" circle is cut at 5" from Moxxie's Just A Girl line of paper. It's called Girl Swirl. It's two-sided so I cut the Style part from the pink back. I also cut the "Celebrate" from Wild Card. I added Sweet 16 to the inside of the card. The "sweet" came from Paisley and "16" came from Designer's Calendar.
I embellished the front with a little purple Stickles to outline the word "in". I added a pink polka dot ribbon with a purple button for the center. I put pink rhinestones around the inner circle. I popped the word "Celebrate" with foam dots. I designed this card with my Gypsy during the drive home from their house. We will be putting a gift card for some stylin' shopping inside when we give her this card. We plan on taking her out for a special dinner by herself and then letting her shop after. What more could a Sweet Sixteen girl ask for?
