It's so her

This card was done for my niece.  As soon as I saw the image "Rae with Journal" by Mo Manning I knew I had to have it.  My niece is called Rachel and the sketch looks just like her.  Trisha over at MSE very kindly provided me with the image.  I have fallen in love with My Minds Eye Penny Lane papers and even though you can't see it very well the skirt on the stamp has the same pattern as the backing paper with circles on.  I added a bit of stickles to the card candy just to tie in with the backing paper.  My next problem was where to put the sentiment as it seemed to throw it off balance, I therefore decided to put it inside the card and just added a butterfly sticker to keep it company. 


Now I also should be showing you pictures of the two cards I made at a challenge class I went to.  Unfortunately I haven't got my brain in this week and I have posted them both off without photographing them, oops!
