I'm a bit behind with our monthly image swap; this is the April image from Joanna. This little gal is so sweet with her teddy! The image is colored with Prismas, and the eyes are dotted with a black gel pen. (I realize now I forgot to add glitter to the image like planned....) I opted to sponge the layers instead of mat them; I like the aged look. I made the rose with a MFT die; I sponged the edges of the felt before rolling in up. Some ribbon, crochet lace, leaf stickpins and a pearl finish it off. I used Jen del Muro's May SFYTT. Thanks for looking!

It is so pretty. I love your dp and love the flower! I'm hoping to order the flower die soon, if they ever get it back in stock. Beautiful coloring and love all the sponging.
