This is a wonderful sketch, Ally. I just don't have a tall greeting, BUT, I do have a tall girl who is dreamin' of flying. When I saw your sketch I knew I would finally 'set' her free. Free to wish a Happy Birthday to someone special. Can you see the bones of the sketch?
I love Basic Grey patterns and just yesterday a couple of new to me collections made their way to my house. The butterfly background is from the 'Sun Kissed' group. I decided to keep it simple and made the birthday girl the focal. Chose a fancy bit of trim, stamped 'birthday wishes' directly onto the trim. Her shoes were stickled with Black Diamond and the dress was colored with Copics and the Stickles.
Here's hoping you can remember fancy party dresses, white cotton anklets and a pair of patent leather Mary Janes...carefree and adventuresome! I can fly, just like these butterflies! Thanks for stopping by.
editing to change photo, I added the black base, the Birthday Banner and am happy with the changes.

I have old photos of myself looking just like this - from the hair to the Mary Janes! Does patent leather look up? What a FABULOUS image for this sketch because it is a statement. The background paper is just perfect. Love this!

Oh my gosh, Susan, your image takes me back in time, right down to the white gloves we HAD to wear, like it or not! How cool is this! Love the background papers and the free spirited little girl you chose! SO perfect for the sketch and brought a smile to my face this morning!
