In addition to owning a chihuahua, I hope this week's tea party recipient, 11 yr old Abby, is also a bit of a fashionista who likes pink.
I took my cue for this card from the stamp name: It's all in the accessories, which reminded me of Lisa's (Shoe Girl) CAS challenge to use shoes. And, Abby loves puzzles. I was determined to use the puzzle die and the shoes, which weren't really working at first, but I finally lightened the background by stamping white paper with the Envelope Pattern stamp, die cutting and just putting the puzzle down in it's entirely. Much, much better than my first attempts. Add a few Stickles and it all comes together. I don't think this qualifies as CAS, so this will not be entering that challenge.
The sentiment was computer generated using Luna font. If you are not familiar with Spanish, "Hola" translates to "Hello" and "Chica" is a spanish term of endearment for a young girl.
Hope you have a great day. TFL

I loved reading your description, that was quite an adventure putting it all together - and wow, was it worth it. Everything about this makes me smile Debbie. Abby is sure to feel very special when she opens her envelope. Thanks for bringing another gem to the teaparty Chica.

What a brilliant image! I'm sure she will love it. The background stamp was a good addition. I agree, sometimes with the puzzle piece die it's hard to get it looking good, but you sure did.
