Keep those good vibes coming - I appreciate it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It's time for a new challenge over at <a href="http://creativeknockouts.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Creative Knockouts</a>. For Challenge #447, our theme is For the Girls and our wonderful sponsor is All Dressed Up. I am working with a digi called "<a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/534880359/new-hair-do" target="_blank">New Hair Do</a>" - being a hairstylist, of course I had to choose this one!

I started by printing the full digi image onto my cardbase and a second copy on a piece of cardstock. I colored the bow and shirt from the second piece using Tonic Studios Nuvo Alcohol Markers. Then, I fussy cut them out and attached them to my cardbase. Just a cute and easy card! The sentiment was stamped using basic black ink. Isn't she adorable? </div></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope to see you at the challenge.
