Birthday Card Idea - Paperdoll

This week's card idea is inspired by the paperdolls of Elsie Flannigan. Her paperdoll idea looks so cute and easily adaptable to different looks.I tried drawing one myself and it turned out to be great fun and it's really quite easy. With little embellishing, the card is created fairly fast. Best bit, it requires very few supplies. Take out your black pens and start doodling some! Incorporate features that you know are characteristics or favorites of the birthday honoree. It can become a very personalized card. For my card, the girl is spotting a hairstyle and top usually worn by the birthday girl. Bubble tea, donuts and cupcakes are among her favorites!
Card Making Steps 1. Create a cardblank with bright yellow cardstock. 2. Doodle paperdoll and little items on white cardstock. Use watercolor pencil to add "blushes" to the girl's face. Use a fine-tipped scissors to carefully trim out the items. Attach them to the cardblank as shown. 3. Use a black pen to handwrite the birthday greetings directly onto the cardblank as shown. Done! Fast and simple.
