Crafters Cafe # 107 - Recipe

Hi everyone, we are midway through our weekly challenge at The Crafter's Cafe.  This week the challenge is a recipe.  1 Image, 2 Designer Papers and 3 elements.

My card features a very cute image from Rick St Dennis called Debbie.  Coloured with Copic and Touch Pens, fussy cute, layered on 2 DPs, with three mauve buttons added for the elements.

This card is for my daughter's birthday next week, perfect, she is currently in a compression boot having broken her foot a few weeks ago and is longing for her pretty shoes.  Check out what Debbie is looking at on my card, yes cute shoes.  Sometimes things just fall into place and this card was one of those times, Perfect Image, the right paper. Can't wait to see my daughter's face when she opens this one.

And on the inside
