Just Because

I don't know about you but I can never have too many Just Because and Sending Smiles type cards in my stash. 
It makes it easy to grab a card and send it to a friend or family member who needs a pick me up or to know that I am thinking about them. 

"Sweet Carlina" from Digi Doodle Studios is the star of the latest card to add to my stash. 

I printed the stamp a little larger then I intended but it all worked out in the end. It is coloured with alcohol markers and I added some shading with Prismacolor pencils. Next I hand fussy cut her and went around the edges with a black marker to get any white I had missed. I added this sweetie to digital paper from DDS and Lawn Fawn. Some stitched clouds and a fun heart flower border helped me build a subtle scene. Enamel dots and ribbon finish off my card.
