My card was made for the mid-week challenge over at the Stars & Stamps blog, where we're being challenged to use a Michelle Perkett digi image on a card for a soldier to send home. She's offering 2 darling digi images for free until August 24th at 10:00PM, so if you want to play along and don't have any of her images yet, hop on over there and grab one and play along!When I saw this cute image, all I could think of was a parent sending this home to a little girl, so I computer generated the sentiment. I used Wild Wasabi and Berry Sorbet card stock and the background DP is Gossamer by Memory Box. I colored the image with Copics and Tombows and added some Berry Sorbet ribbon on the horizontal panels. I used a previous S&S sketch for the layout, and used the Labels 4 dies to cut the image and a Cuttlebug ef for the vertical panel. The photograph didn't capture it very well, but I sponged the main image around the edges (while still in the die) with Memento Angel Pink ink for a little interest.
Thanks for stopping by, and have a great Thursday!
Carol

Some lucky little girl is going to get a beautiful keepsake! I love the way you used the background paper printed with writing to set the stage for all your textures. I can see the sponging -- and I love it!
