No...Suzie doesn't have a black eye, her flowers do! I have been making a ton of blooms lately and ran out of my gold micro beads- which inspired this card. I switched to black beads for these and love the look. Black-eye Susan's are so "country fresh", and this week the Twisted Sister's challenge is to use a circle, one color (ok, so I cheated a tad) and black.
The Pure Innocence image from MFT is water colored and paper pieced and I added a bit of lace to the bottom of her dress. The "Girlfriend" sentiment is from Inkadinkado. Here is a link on how to make the Mini Blooms.
Thanks for looking!

Absolutely adorable card. Your dps are so sweet and I love that little paper pieced dress. That little bit of lace on her dress is perfect. You are definitely all about the details...and that is probably the thing I love most about your cards, all of the heartfelt details. Hope all is well with you! Hugs!
