I kept the layout and used a similar image but, obviously, a different one. Also, due to the image, I switched the shape to an oval.
I added dry embossing to the background panel and stippling around the colored image. I was practicing my coloring with Copics, topped with Prismacolor pencil work.
Heat embossed the sentiment and added some pearls to some of the blossoms on the background and done.
Congratulations, Karen, enjoy your week!
Thanks for looking!

So sweet! Love the image and how beautifully you colored it. The background embossing is lovely and goes very nicely with the image. Terrific job with your case of Karen's lovely card. It's such a delight in the gallery. Well done! TFS
So, so beautiful! I would be keeping this piece of artwork on display - just love it! It might be in part because you made her a redhead - just sayin'. ;) Such a rosy scene - I adore your coloring.

What a precious precious birthday card this is Catherine. I adore the colors you chose, and this little girl swinging on a swing with her furry bestie is simply fabulous. You colored this wonderful image to the 9's and truly brought it to life. The hint of sparkle in some of the flower centers is the perfect finishing touch to this amazing card! ~Karen.
