Evie is 6...

The story of Evie's Hello Kitty Birthday...

When Evie turned six, back in September, nearly everything was Hello Kitty related: the presents, cards, clothes, cakes...  I wanted to record all the details and in true Evie-style, I went for pink and more pink for the layout.  

The papers and stickers are from the October Afternoon 'Sidewalks' collection.  There's also some washi tape and a Martha Stewart Doily.  The pink heart was created by cutting out a handdrawn heart and using the negative as a template, colouring the space in with a Versamark pen before embossing with pink Zing powder.  I had planned to add some Hello Kitty stickers as embellishments but Evie seems to have used them all up so I decided to have a go at making my own little Hello Kitty face, drawing it freehand with my Versamark pen again and embossing with black powder and then some butter powder for the nose.  The end effect is a bit like a glossy sticker: not quite as good as the real thing but good enough for me.


Thanks for looking :)

Looks wonderful Helen & I especially love the expression you have caught in that first photo! Is that Blush zing that you used on the heart?
