Like any other girl her age (or any age!) my daughter loves to go shopping so I decided to go with a shopping theme for her birthday card.
Surprisingly, I had a really difficult time finding an image or cutting file of a "shopping girl" that I liked. Finally chose to use "Jordan" from SVG Cutting Files because I like the way she looked like she might be walking since I wanted to use her on a Triple Slider card. Plus, I thought her boots looked really cool! The original "Jordan" is actually a holiday paper piecing, dressed in a Santa hat and fur trimmed dress. I just left those pieces off and gave her a couple shopping bags to hold instead! The round "Celebrate" emblem was created with WordArt in Microsoft Word. The background storefronts image was found through a web search for storefront backdrops.
As with my previous Triple Slider cards, pulling the ribbon on the right of the card reveals a panel with a birthday sentiment on the right, and at the same time another panel with a surprise appears on the left...and...Miss Jordan "walks" down the sidewalk to the next store!
Yup, still having loads of fun with this card style! Still wanting to try one in a portrait orientation where the image slides "up" instead...now that's definitely on my "to do" list for this year!
