I'm So Sweet {My Besties Images}

Hi, Everyone! Things have been a bit rough health-wise. I'm sorry for not being able to visit blogs and share friendly hugs these past several weeks. But... I am happy to finally be able to present a card.

Also, a VERY hearty welcome for new followers Gertrude Heimetsberger, Helga, Marrie, Lizzi (Les Fleurs), and Dorothy.

Bringing out the little girl in me, this darling "big-eyed Besties girl" by Sherry Baldy should be named "I'm so Sweet". She can be purchased here.

Colored with Copic Markers, this Sweetie Pie enjoys accessorizing her hair with her clothing. Brilliance inks were used around the edges of the Spellbinders Die. (products listed below).

It has been a while since making an easel card, so it was especially fun making one for Sweetie.

The Sentiment is computer generated. The butterflies are a hidbrid of Spellbinders and EK Success, with 2 colors of SNS embossing powders. There is a little distressing around the edges with SNS "Magic Speckle". It is big pieces of EP featuring an iridescent, pearly appearance, matching any colors used on your card.

The Flowers are part of my new easy-peasy tutorial. Hundreds of these single-layer flowers live in my craft room now that Terry brought hers over to stay.

Here is a closeup of the sentiment, pretty lace, and satiny ribbon.

Sweetie would enjoy living in your digital stash, so drop by and pick her up soon! 

The products used on this project are listed below.
