Handmade greeting cards

I attended a 4 year old little girl's birthday party this week; she is my son's friend from the time they were in nursery last year and is quite a little cutie!

I decided to to give her a handmade greeting card and plunged into thinking about ideas. For girls there are way too many options, and all are equally interesting. Just last month I had used a butterfly pattern for another little girl's birthday - and this time after dilly-dallying, I finalized a princess. I was still unsure about the final result, whether or not it would match what I had visualized it to be!

I came up with this :)


Work in progress

and....the final piece !




I so hope she likes it!! It took a lot of time to paint the pieces separately and carefully without the colours running into each other. With limited time on hand - in between household chores and my son's demands for attention; I managed it somehow and I think this looks really pretty! What do you think? Do write in!!
