For my card I stamped the new Wee Image Angie in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock. The image was cut and embossed with the second largest Romantic Rectangle die (Oh yeah! I got new dies and I am loving it!!!). The image was colored with  Copic Markers (Skin: YR0000, YR000, YR00, BV000    Hair: E97, E99, E09, E39, E29     Wings: C00, C1, C3    Bow, ladybug: R00, R01, R02, R05). The image was masked, cloud masks and the die were added and the inner part was  airbrushed with Copic Marker B02. Shading was added to the clouds with Copic Markers (W00, W0, W1).

A 2 1/4″ wide strip of Pink Paislee Spring Jubilee Patterned Paper was adhered to a piece of the same paper pack. It was cut with the largest Romantic Rectangle die. The edges were sanded and the piece was cut down at the embossed line. The edges were then stitched and May Arts ribbon was tied around the horizontal strip. The bow was topped with a button, tied on with embroidery floss.

The layer was adhered to a piece of white cardstock, cut and embossed with the same Romantic Rectangle die. The image was adhered to the center of the card front with dimensionals. A piece of Fancy That! Border Bling was adhered over the image.  The card base was cut out of white cardstock with the same die and the card front was adhered over it, to hide the card hinge.

A sentiment from Thank you Tabs 1. It was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, cut out and and adhered under the lower left corner. Two Wild Orchard Flowers were adhered above and underneath the sentiment panel.  A small piece of a  Finesse Swirl was adhered next to the lower flower and two small rhinestones were added to the main image. Frost Smooch Glitz on the angel wings finish off the card.
