Well, here we are at the end of a long day. I loved Kisa's gallery and was bent on getting this FS done. Just as I was linking her card, I noticed it was an FS also. So sorry about that Kisa- I loved what you did, and guess we can both thank Kendra for her inspiration. Here is the card I chose:
I kept the same layout, moving the main image aside to accomodate the sentiment. I used DP and CB, and changed the location of the brads.
The main image is special to me, as I got it at HL on my trip to see Shirley (Wannabcre8tive) and brings back great memories! It has been watercolored, and flocked. The eyes have CE on them to make them shine. The original stamp looks more like a lil boy critter, so I added a bow to 'girl it up' for my little friend Kristin to give to her daddy.
Thanks for looking. I am off to find a 'Kisa Original' now!

Oh Pat, this is just a hoot! What a fabulously fun image that is, and your stamping/coloring is by far, the best of the best. I love this card. What a winner!

The bow on top of that Changitos head is perfect. How sweet Pat. I love this. You did a super FS of an FS. I love the distressed bottom panel and the fence... Super colors.

This is just downright adorable. Love your little girl changito holding on to Dad. Look at those big eyes with the long eyelashes. Great coloring, scenery and I like the cb embossing.
