New Beginnings

Hi again!  Can you believe it?  I've managed to create another card and even found the time to sit at the computer and post it!  It was such a gorgeous Saturday!  Sunny and 80 - just perfect!  Hope it stays this way for the rest of the long weekend!

Here is the card I created:

My card base and mats are SU Baja Breeze and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Dolled Up 6x6 pad.  The sweet image is New Beginnings from Elisabeth Bell for Sweet Pea Stamps.  I stamped her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I also colored in a sky and grass with my Copics.  I added a few highlights with my Sharpie White Paint Pen and Viva Decor Ice White Pearl Pen.   I used Spellbinders Lacey Circles and a Lacey Square Die for the background.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  Some lace and a few Wild Orchid Crafts flowers finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:
