On a recent trip to an LSS, I came across this pretty floral patterned paper by one of my all-time favorite lines: Doodlebug! Now, I know this paper seems more suited for the spring season, but it was just calling my name! LOL! I actually walked away from it and then went back. I just couldn't walk out of the store without at least a sheet or two of this paper. So, of course, I just had to use it for my Hello Kitty project.
I had to go with the pink and purple combo. I think it's such a girly color combination. I cut HK out of the Cricut HK Greetings cart at 3 inches. I used some pink and purple cardstock and embossed both to add texture. I wanted to bling things up, so I added some pink crystal flowers that I've had in my stash for a loooong time! I also added some round bling from SU! to some of the flower centers. The final touch was some pretty pink ribbon.
