Today's challenge was truly a challenge for me because I have exactly 3 stamps in my entire collection that include a girl of any kind (I don't typically use "people" stamps). I dug this one out that I have had for years... Pretty straightforward - colored with copics, added stickles and enamel dots, used stitched rectangle dies. Happy with how it turned out, so I was glad for the challenge even though at first I thought I wouldn't be able to participate. (F4A266) Oh, the inside says, "At least for today, Happy Birthday!" I'm also linking to our tortoise and hare challenge. For a brief shining moment I thought this might be a "hare" card, but alas, it took me my usual 1 1/2 hours. How does that happen?

Love this! Great colors and coloring! Love your enamel dots! I also wasn't sure I had any girl pictures, since I seldom stamp people. This despite the fact that I have a plastic box labeled people! <grin>

The reason you made it a tortoise card.....you do great work, and that takes time, but you are having fun doing it and that's all that counts. Love the cute stamp and the added bg paper. Thanks for playing in the challenge. If I took a poll on how many of us are tortoises or hares....the tortoises would have won. Thanks so much for playing in the challenge.
Oh, this is so cute, Maura! Beautiful coloring and I love the patterned papers you chose for the background! Thank you so much for playing along with us once again at ATSM! Barb G.
