This card was made by my eldest daughter Bronte who has just turned 13, for her younger sister Maddy, who turns 11 tomorrow....and has been counting sleeps forever!
Bronte and I spent some card making time together today while DH and the other two went to the movies....we had Mama Mia on and it was 'Party Central!' Well, actually it was very quiet as we worked away...
Bronte chose this Happy Hopper image (thanks to bubblefrog) and coloured it in with pencils and added bling with glitter pens. This is only Bronte's second card on the gallery, she is more of a scrapbooker really, but has made a few cards for family and does a great job (I am totally unbiased!
I have seen that even if your kids don't get enthused about your cards, they take it all in as I can see how much Bronte has progressed with her craft....Maddy is going to love this....probably at 4am in the morning - ahhhh!!!
Thank you for looking and it would be great if you could leave Bronte an encouraging comment - she would love it and be greatly encouraged!!

Well Bronte, this is a gorgeous card and looks like it has been made by someone MUCH older and more experienced!!! (You should have seen my second effort - it was horrible!!) I love your layout, your beautifully coloured bunnies, the pretty flower and fab scalloped edge! An amazing card - keep this up and you will be a stunning cardmaker!!!
Hi Bronte, Your card is so cute and pretty! You did such a wonderful job of coloring in with the pretty pens! Every time I see these darling mice, I aways smile as they are so cute! Maddy will love your card and all the care you took in making it for her!

Oh Bronte! Holy moley- look at you! Your sweet card makes me want to dance! I love rabbits, and this image is adorable! Your coloring is fabulous and I love the scalloped edge you added to the top- they look like they are on stage, doing a birthday dance for Maddy. Great job lil sistah! More! More! Love you, Aunt Patti XXXOOO

Bronte, I love your card for Maddy - your colouring is just lovely and the way you have added the bling just makes it sparkle!!! Your layered flower is so pretty and that scalloped border is perfect. Well done darling, Maddy is going to love this - infact this looks like a picture of her at about 4am on her birthday morning - ahhh!! Glad you share a room with her and not me!! LOL!!! Well done Bronte - thanks for sharing!

Bronte, you did a beautiful job! I love it. I love how you have done those bunnies and their hats! Obviously, being a kid is no barrier to you! I'm 46 and I still do not color that well!

Bronte, are you sure this is only your 2nd card? I didn't make cards this good in my 2nd year of stamping! I love this. So cute. Keep it up. Maddy will love it - there's always something special about a hand made card from a sister.
