A Special Card for an Annie Birthday

My niece's daughter will be 4 this week. She had an Annie-themed birthday party this past weekend.  It was very fun with art activities based on Annie's locket and the NYC skyline.  The guests wore red and the girl of the day wore her Annie dress.

I made Annie a special card using the NYC skyline, a rainbow and a sun.

The front had a rainy day scene of the NYC skyline.

The inside revealed a blue sky, sunshine and rainbow sentiment.

I made the gray sky with a die-cut scalloped edge as a stencil

and a make-up sponge as a dauber.  I did the same for the blue sky but

with a chalk stamp in blue.

Another hand-cut stencil of a sun ray and some yellow chalk paint

helped me make sharp edges on the sunburst with the same method.

These two sets of cloud die-cuts, one with a sunshine and matching stamps

completed the details of the scenery.

A rainbow sentiment completed the theme for the birthday girl.

A clever party theme--and a fun card theme also!
