Rollergirls Rule - Birthday Card

My youngest daughter for the last year has become involved in Roller Derby, joining the junior league of the Denver Roller Dolls.  A few weeks ago she tried out for the adult league, and made it!  This is very exciting and scary all at the same time - I don't know how I'm going to handle seeing 'my baby' getting pushed around!  I knew immediately the kind of birthday card that I wanted to make for her.

Although this is a pretty simple card, it took me ages to make.  Why?  Because I must have spent a couple of hours trolling the Internet for a suitable svg file or image that I could trace - some of those images were not really suitable to put on my daughters card if you know what I mean :)  I almost gave up and decided to go with a different theme, but then I checked the images on the Silhouette online store and found this.

  

This was definitely more the kind of image that I was looking for.  The Cameo cut this out beautifully, and considering the intricate cuts on the 'fishnets' there were only a couple of places that I had to 'poke' pieces out.

I really hope she likes it.  Happy Birthday "Shebe Dangerous".
