I had to hunt for a bit to find an image small enough and vertically oriented to make the sketch work. Raggedy Ann fit the bill perfectly! And once again, it helps to have a specific person in mind for the card before I begin, this is for littlest DD. We started reading a Raggedy Ann book together and when we're finished, I will give her the card. She draws pictures for the family all the time and should get a pretty in return.
The red ribbon at the top is supposed to mimic Raggedy Ann's loopy red yarn hair. I used three BG stamps on this, just love BG stamps, one was a new one I bought from Aselahop's stamp reduction sale. Thanks for looking.

Awww, I am sure she will LOVE it. I know I loved Raggedy Ann and Andy when I was a little girl. So sweet, and the bg stamps really look wonderful with this image as well. Terrific coloring!

Oh, my gosh! I LOVED Raggedy Ann when I was little! I cherished my Raggedy Ann sleeping bag. A couple years ago my grandma made me homemade Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls that I display in my scrap room. This card brought such a smile to my face and the sweet story behind why you made it just made my heart melt! Absolutely ADORABLE card!!!

This looks like it took a lot of heart and love to make...she is adorable, and your background stamps have a designer paper look! I bet this brings a big smile to DD's face...just like mine!
