Every time I see one of these adorable little girl figures I think of my little 4 year old niece Lily. I only get to see her a couple times a year so in between visits I'm trying to get into the habit of sending her a little something to remember me by. This time I put this adorable card in a big envelope with a cute little sun dress, a sticker book and some skittles with the hopes this colorful package will bring a big smile.
I really love these little girl images but I'm leary to purchase the stamps because I really don't know many little girls to make cards for. I ended up finding this free image online and thought it would be a great way to practice my coloring also. I printed it out and then traced over it with permanent marker so that the ink wouldn't bleed. Then I brought out my Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Markers and a water brush to play with some blending techniques.
I carefully cut this image out and then prepped the card base by stamping with a striped border stamp set from My Favorite Things . Then, I stamped and diecut a stitched frame and greeting for a colorful but simple background. I like the affect the white frame gave on white cardstock. It grounded the card a little so that the little girl doesn't just look like she's floating in mid air.
Thanks for stopping by!
