It was my great niece's 15th birthday yesterday and this is the card I made for her. I took my inspiration from the card I made HERE, but I wanted to make it into more of a scene. Emmie loves horses and is happiest when she is down at the local stables, riding or helping with the horses.
I didn't have a horse die, so this one started life as a unicorn and I chopped the horn off. The sentiment is a Memory Box 'Grand Happy Birthday' die cut. I added part of a Die-namics 'Fresh Cut Grass' die cut for the horse to stand on. The sky was a snippet of blue mottled patterned paper and I put the Memory Box 'Puffy Clouds' die cuts in the sky and raised one of them up on foam pads.
I am joining in the following challenges with this card:
Emmie asked for money for her birthday as she is saving up for a new mobile. I made her a money holder card to put the notes in.
The patterned paper was from an old Paper Cellar paper pad. The horse is a silhouette peel off... yes, I still have some which are very ancient, but now and again they come in handy. The sentiment is a Happy Little Stampers stamp from the 'Birthday Friends' set, stamped with Versafine Clair 'Tulip Red'.
When the card is open, there is a pocket to put the money in where the bottom half of the card front is attached to the back around the bottom and side.

I bet Emmie was one happy teen! This card and the money holder card is just fabulous. Love the papers you used on the money holder card. The birthday card is simple, but so effective with Emmie's favorite pastime. Love that! Hugs, Brenda
