This card fits the Central Theme for the Dirty Dozen Fan Club in May 2011 (Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World") because: (a) it has PINK on it, which makes my world wonderful; (b) it's girly, which I love; and (c) it is going to my cousin who moved to our town about a year ago and has been a great source of joy and friendship ever since.
I colored this little girl from Lili of the Valley (the image is called "New Hat") with Copic markers, added Crystal Effects to the mirror face and tiny pearls for her buttons. The scallops at the top are made with My Favorite Things Medium Scallop Die (so happy to have it!). The sentiment on the tag is from SU!'s "Little Hellos." The Barely Banana background has the SU!'s Linen background stamp on it using So Saffron ink, although you can hardly tell even in real life.
Thanks for looking!

I LOVE your sweet image, Shellie. I have her but haven't got her colored up yet. I love the pearl buttons you gave her and I also love those scallops which I keep thinking I want to get, but haven't yet.
