Birthday Card for a 4 Year Old

Today's card is one I made for my neighbour's daughter who celebrated 

her 4th birthday last month

I made the base card in pink, then die cut the pretty stitched panel

in white and glued directly onto the base card. I stamped the number four onto 

the same pink card and also white foam. After cutting them out by hand, I glued

 them together, and glued them onto the white panel. Lastly, I added some sequins, 

and the sentiment.
