Cowgirl birthday invitations

My daughter LOVES horses so everything for her birthday party later this month has to be about horse.  We're planning a horse themed tea party.  We'll see how that goes!  Horses and tea parties are not usually in the same sentence! :D

We started with a cowgirl invitation.  The info is written on another body shape underneath.

What I used:
  • PDDU body cut at 5"
  • clothes from PDDU cowgirl... skirt, shirt, vest
  • clothes from PDDU cowboy... boots and hat (like it better than the girl's!)
  • hair from PDDU Indian boy... all her friends have long hair!
  • Bazzill cardstock for clothes
  • scraps for the rest
  • white gel pen
  • faces made after seeing this on YouTube (I need lots more practice!!)

A couple of weeks ago, I saw this tip on a blog and I can't remember where...
For avoiding that flat spot where you fold a shaped card, make a second shape, score the second shape then glue together at the top...  For my girl, the hair would have hidden it, but this is really great for rounded shapes!!
