I struggled with this card today. It was a little bit touch and go for a bit this morning. I picked my cute All Dressed Up image and chose SC92 for my layout inspiration and chose some pretty Recollections DP. But when I had it all colored and assembled, it felt really boring to me. So I edged all the panels in gold Sharpie and sponged a little firelight glow behind my girl. But that still didn't do it. So, I went looking for that one last thing that I always try to add and found a little brown paper flower to stick on with a nice red button. But that wasn't quite it either. So I cut some leafy stems and sponged them with Pine Needles and that was almost it. But it still needed a sentiment. I searched through my Christmas sentiment and found itâe"Believe. Perfect! Stamped and cut that little tag out and, yes, I do like my card today. For shimmery sparkly dessert, I have glittery DP and Wink of Stella on all the parts of the image that I colored in red and the little âeoeBelieveâe tag. The shimmer is quite lovely IRL.
Oh what a lovely card it is! The background patterns are so pretty and the girl is adorable. I also love how you did edges using gold pen. Thank you for joining us at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

Such a sweet card...the finished look is GREAT...glad you stuck with it! That is a darling little image and beautifully colored! Love the vintage feel with the muted red and kraft working so well together. Great layered panels with a wonderful combination of patterned papers. Cute kraft flowers, button and ticket sentiment!
