I seldom base a card off the bg paper, but the pretty tree and bird image on this paper just called to me. Then, I just added a stamped verse, punches and die cuts, some sewing, a couple of eyelets, sparkly ribbon, shimmery butterflies, and distressing.
I used the Viva la Verve July 2012 Week 3 sketch almost exactly as it's drawn.
There's plenty of room inside for a personal message.
Well, I'm off to do some tidying up. If the doll clothes turn out presentable, I'll post pictures of them next week. :)
Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderful day of rest!

Beautiful! Love the dies you've used. That's a great sketch too. Everyone seems to be using it this week. I may have to go check out that blog. Thanks for playing along this week at SSiC. And good luck with your Barbie clothes!! So glad my girls have out-grown Barbies! Those tiny things can be a challenge to sew!
