I love using this littl girl image to make Valentines with. I thought I would use her on today's card, with non traditional colors. The dp that I used had teal flowers with rust outlines. I made two panels of teal with my chalk and outlined them with a rust colored marker. I stamped the little girl with black stazon. I colored her in with colored pencils. The lock and key on the heart I outlined with a gold marker. To get my pleated part of my card for the challenge, I used my paper crimper and crimped the yellow cardstock. I added double ribbons and two brads. What do you think?

Well aren't you clever. I never thought to use a crimper. Would have saved me lots of paper in my little old garbage can. Super image. She is so sweet. Great job MariLynn.

I could have used that paper crimper this morning when I was working so hard because I had never done a paper pleat on a card. Great job and very nice card!
