Michelle (sf9erfan) challenged our dare group to make a card using some kind of alphabet letter(s). I chose to use my *b* from sticky letters covered in baby blue Cosmo glitter, which is very sparkly in real life! The *b* is for baby as we're having a baby shower next week for a coworker and his wife. They are having a boy!
I used this week's sketch by Cindy Haffner in the MFT forums. Check it out and come play!
The heart is from the pocket heart tutorial from Technique Challenges #50 and #151.
I watercolored my giraffe with aquapainter and SU reinkers and tucked him inside the pocket.
TFL!

What a darling card, Charlene. I am not going to case it, I am going to just plain copy it as close as I can. Love the pocket with the giraffe enclosed. Love it. I am printing it off so I don't forget the details.
