What a fun sketch, Meg (WAXYO) and Roxie (Rox 71--for finding it)! I made this card a la Faith (markie's mom) because I couldn't figure out any other paper that worked well to mat the layers except black, and plain black was just, well, too plain. So thanks for the dotted inspiration, Faith (I love your creations!)!
This Spring Bonnet image is from Whipper Snapper. The sentiment is from the WS cling mount set "Friendly Expressions." It has such great sentiments (and a great bunch of flowers)! I think I'll give this card to Mom for Mother's Day since she's one of a kind in the BEST possible way!
I wanted to color the image with Copics, but I didn't have enough blending colors. So I used Copic markers, a SU! marker, and Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol to blend! Can you tell which is which?
ETA: I just thought something was missing from the bottom of the long panel, so I added the 1/2" circles of black, 1/4" circles of white, and red Dew Drops. More white dots around the edges.

I love how the pretty bonnet spills over the edges! The sentiment placement is great too, but I'm really loving all those little white dots around the edges!

What a great card - I loved the dotted black edges and the added circles/dew drops look super!
