Its always difficult finding a card for a teenage daughter so making my own cards has been a great way of creating a card that suits the recipient rather than one that you hope goes down well! Teenagers are probably the hardest to buy cards for as some shop bought cards can seem a bit too young for them and with so many changing themes, trends and phases it can sometimes be hard to keep up.
This card was inspired by my daughters love of dresses, clothing and shopping and used a more subtle pallet rather than bright girly pinks (which isn't one of her favourite colours). I found the blackboard piece in a pad that had some really funky young paper sheets in and simply cut out the blackboard panel and then using rub on transfers I added the various clothing elements. The two flowers on the card were cut out from scrap pieces and I dusted the edges of the petals with brown chalk to give it that slightly vintage feel. The sentiment I cut out of a sheet and added a brad with a bold back tab so that it stood out.
I certainly would recommend card making to anyone who finds it hard to buy off the shelf cards for the friends and family and a lot of the time they will love the fact that you made something specifically for them.
Happy Crafting!
