Here is my card

This image is "Gigi with Bird".  When I saw the image I had a strong feeling she needed to be surrounded by mixed media.  So my card is full of different inks and textures.  I also used a technique I learned from Tim Holtz.  I used paste and while still wet I added embossing powder.  After the paste dried I used my heat gun.  If you try this be sure to wait till the paste has dried.  If you don't you probably will not like the result.

The image is "Angelica's Dreamcatcher".  My daughter has a dream catcher too.  The concept alone kept bad dreams away.

The last card I have for you is sponsored by Drawn with Character

The image I received for this one is "Princess and the Frog"

I picked this image out with a beautiful little girl in mind.  My niece just moved to Ohio with her husband and a gorgeous little girl.  She is so sweet and cute.  What a joy to be around.  Her birthday is coming up in a couple months but I made her a card early.

She always has a big bow in her hair.  One day her head might catch up as she has been wearing them since birth.  Doesn't she just exude cuteness!!
