If you have an opportunity, come join the challenge. It's a lot of fun and there's two versions, one intricate and one CAS. That way, anyone can play what they are more comfortable with. There are great weekly and monthly prizes.
I've used this cute and fun digi image by Michelle Perkett found here:
She has such a variety of wonderful digi images. You ought to check it out!
Priscilla's wonderful sketch called for a spotlight on the image, so I spotlighted the balloon coming off the sweet dog's tail. Used 3 circle punch for the balloon and popped it up on dimensionals.
The image I colored with markers and, although it doesn't show much on the photo, her belt, collar, sleeve cuff and bottom trim of her dress are sparkled up with Diamond Stickles. The candle has yellow stickles and her crown has gold stickles. I used crystal effects on the balloon and the cupcake to give it a shiny look.
Added some bling, pearls, flower punches, ribbon, crochet ribbon and border punch on the middle panel.
Thanks SO MUCH for taking the time to look and I truly hope you have a wonderful week!

Oh, Pamzi, this is so sweet! I love the great colors you chose for this. Wow, those look awesome. Your spotlighting on the doggie's balloon is genius!! Cool looped ribbon treatment along the top, and I love that crocheted lace trim you used, too. You are a wizard on these terrific MMSC sketches!!

Hi Pammy! This is one C-U-T-E card. I just love how you did the ribbon and the flowers as well as the crocheted ribbon. Such pretty colors too.
I was going to buy some embellies and I finally thought, I know, brown pearls - but NO! Someone bought the pretty brown pearls and now there are none left on the West Coast! Who could it have been?

Pammy Jo (yes you are totally in the Jo family) this is gorgeous. You put so many details into your art that I cannot even image how long each card takes!! I am so far behind in everything lately that I have not commented often on cards. I am a card making machine sending them out to people in need of a smile that I am lax in giving my friends attention. I am just a pitiful old lady. Your cards are a one of a kind masterpiece....always!!! tfs.
