My latest order saw me making a card for a special Nan who was turning 80. I love the 1920's - 1930's era so I just had to find a digi stamp that I could use and came across this cutie from The Paper Shelter. She comes pre-coloured and outlined, plus with a background. I chose to colour her myself in pretty shades of blue and accessorised with some tiny gems, some gloss on her shoes and a tiny prima flower that I cut into points and added a dot of Perfect Pearls. I also used some Graphic 45 papers as they have an aged look about them.
Other points of interest: the sentiment is raised on 3D foam dots, the entire card is made from scraps of cardstock and the borders are all hand doodled by me. The font is also a 1920's style font.

Here is a little close up of the image so you can see the colouring and the gloss a little easier.
