This card was so much fun to make. I designed it as a “thank you card”.
After painting the image with water color pencils, I used a Martha Stewart glue pen to apply a small amount of glue over her ring, necklace, brooch, the bow on her hat, and the bow on the puppyÂ’s head. I dusted those areas with marcasite embossing powder and treated with a heat gun. I used the same marcasite to emboss the letters in my sentiment. The corners are secured with fancy brads I got at MichaelÂ’s.

Love your card! She's really stylin'. That punch you used is one of the first I ever bought and it's still one of my favorites. You've really designed a beautiful card here.
