Happy Birthday Roxy

Hi Everyone, 

This week I have made a card for my niece Roxy, she has just turned 9 and loves the Kuromi character.

I downloaded the image from the Vecteezy website and set to work making my base card 

I decided to make a shaker card as they are my favorite card to make and Roxy loves receiving them too!

As I was taking her girly shopping I thought she would need a shopping bag, so I made one for her using my new sublimation printer, and another image downloaded from Vecteezy.

Happy Birthday Roxy x
