sending the card to her.
Printed the digi on flesh colored cardstock & golden yellow cardstock. Cut the golden yellow part of the digi that was the hair and paper pieced it over the flesh cardstock. Colored the digi using Crayola Pencil Colors (Yellow) and Sharpie markers (red & green). Added white enamel accents (lace of dress).
Used white cardstock as base of card and red gingham scrapbbok paper as border. Added school theme ribbon.
Used Fancy Frames Cricut cartridge that I found wonderful for matting frames. I did have to try some different sizes before I got it to fit what mine. The interior part is 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" and the matting frame I cut was 5 3/4"
Photographed the card with a book that my Daughter put on her Christmas/Birthday Wish List.
