I LOVE fussy cutting, so this week's challenge (F4A426) quickly drew me in.
I started with a black card base and added some pretty patterned paper that I edged with some brown ink. I then stamped my image on the paper - and then stamped it again on some Very Vanilla. I blended her dress with Copic markers (I'm getting better!) and then fussy cut her out and popped her up on the main panel. I stamped the umbrella on some red sparkly paper and then fussy cut it out and popped it up with slightly deeper dimensionals so that the umbrella covers her head. The sentiment is stamped on a small piece of paper and then edged with the same brown ink as the main panel.
Thanks for taking a peek!

Such an elegant card with the lovely collage like background with the corner floral spray and that lovely birthday lady so beautifully colored. Your fussy cutting is terrific and I love the sparkle paper for the umbrella. Gorgeous card!
