This card took me ALL day to make... it's just been one of those days! And now, I'm not even sure I like it... it feels like it has too much going on... I dunno!
Anyway, I used this cutie from the Crafter's Companion S.W.A.L.K. line, called Hugs. I colored her with my copics, and paper pieced the dress and bows with some scraps I had lying around. I did a little zig-zag sitching between the two patterned papers, and used foam adhesive under the image and sentiment to pop them up.
So what do you think? Too much? Not enough? I still can't decide!

Aw, I think it's sweet! I love how you've coloured her, and I think the large panels make up for the busy paper (which I love!)
