Tomorrow is my mom's birthday and I finally found a cute ragdoll stamp to use for her birthday card. Most of you know about the beautiful ragdolls that my mom makes--much cuter than this stamp. It's very difficult to find a stamp that even comes close to her dolls. And what a great sketch for her card. I used a never before used by me background stamp and embossed with clear EP, then sponged in Blueprint Sketch and colored in the hearts and leaves to create a Raggedy Ann dress print. Then I sponged some ragdoll stripe for the next element and cut the oval in black to match her feet. I had a tough time coloring this image. There was a lot of white until I colored the white stripes blue on the dress and colored her skin with E50. She was still a little bit boring to me, so I added Stickles to the heart that she is holding. I hope my mom loves her Raggedy Ann card. I made an extra that she could send to one of her customers if she wants to.

Wonderful image to use for your mom's birthday! Her dolls are marvelous! Love the special care you took to create this fabulous personalized card and that you made a second one that she could use! The rick rack trim and the embossed & colored background are excellent for this one. Great job with the layout. Thanks for creating with the Sketch Challenge!
