Happy 4th Birthday London!!!

Just popping in with a quick post this morning :)

Our sweet little niece turned 4 a week ago and her birthday party is this weekend. She is having a Frozen theme (every little girls dream!) and so I thought I would make her a Queen Elsa card to go along with her Elsa inspired presents!

I wanted the image to be the focal point of this card and was delighted to see the sketch at Atlantic Hearts this week would be PERFECT! And of course being that it is a birthday card I will be playing along at Seize the Birthday as well.
